I came so close to pre-ordering day before yesterday and I decided to ask about this first...I am so glad I did because I won't be purchasing P5. I am all for security but I have never (and never will) purchase software that won't allow me to install it on my desktop as well as my laptop. Nor will I purchase software that allows me to install it on both but dictates when I can use it on them... nor will I purchase software that I have to contact the company after I install it before I can use it..every time I have to reformat....sorry but if consumers don't draw the line somewhere, I'll have to contact Ford Motor company everytime I want to drive my car to verify I am the owner of it and have the right to drive it.....
