[Glitterati3D]...> Simply put, VWD, if you insist on this hardware lock, you ARE accusing me of being a thief who would distribute your software.

I have seen no mention of a "hardware lock" at all. All I have seen is mention of three keys, with the possibility of gaining more due to misfortune, if that becomes necessary. This is, after all, very similar to the way that executable programs are already delivered by every single player in this market. Renderosity, DAZ3D, RDNA, etc, all routinely ship one or several personalized keys for every executable program they sell. I have even purchased utilities that require third-party authorization for decryption keys from Renderosity.

VWD is not, at least inasmuch as I can see, doing anything unusual at all regarding the distribution and sale of his software.

I, for one, am eager to have the opportunity to purchase this software.
