All this is going away from your orignal posting that software was deliberatly bugged to make people buy updates.

Your reasoning has been shown to be incorrect, so now it goes away to priate software etc.

I give my serial to Poser to only one company and that is SM when I'm getting SR's. After that I don't need to give it anyone or any other company for any reason whatsoever.

Next it will be that you have to send them a specific code word that has been encrypted so that Echelon cannot decode it.

All the best.
