Personally I do not care if I have to authorize 1 time or 2 times etc as long as the reply is a quick one (and being half a day in front dont help much), as long as it is quicker than the 24 hours I had to wait when i got my Lightwave before I could fully use it I will not mind. But if you honestly think that this will stop poser 5 being warez you need to re-think, nearly all programs are even warez before they are even friggin out for us honest people to buy. Like I said I have no problem with doing a authorize on buying or first installation, but waiting for a key each time your computer messes up or you upgrade your hard drive or change os etc can and will be annoying to a lot of people and quickly. But hey do what you feel you think is best, I have already pre-ordered mine so nothing you do or say will make me change my mind, but remember the extra security only effects and hidders honest buyers.
