I've had problems with WindowsME and XP (especially XP) because it hates old hardware and reformatting my hard drive several times a year is not uncommon. I've installed XP at least 6 times in the last six months and have had to "initialize" it through Microsoft's site each time. I'm hoping the problem has gone away and the bugs have been worked out of this computer because I don't think that CL will allow me to keep re-installing Poser5 that many times without getting suspicious. Over on the other board, CL has stated that it can be installed on more than one computer as long as they both aren't used at the same time. And it can be installed several times, but the software will generate a different code for each installation. There seems to be some tolerance for re-installations to a point. I'd much prefer this method over the dongle with the CD in the drive. I much prefer to have my software stored safely. I had a laptop stolen last year with CD's in the case. If this were to happen again, I'd have to wait to receive another one just to run the program. Dongles are a bad idea and just shows how paranoid software company management is. Look what happened to LipSync.
