We used to be able to group our'puters in production units (usually 3, working on the same scene or element). We could use one version of the software per production units, with permission from the software producer. It worked fine and actually helped us survive the first few years. Maybe that's a solution to some animators' quandry. No dongle, please. No greater insentive to use my Ccard number either, no need to get people tocome up with more fraudulent schemes. No SIN number either. Certainly, no bank account number... Keep looking, please. Q
