megalodon, it's not that i'm afraid that it won't work and that i can't use poser for few days. with currently 6 apps demanding authorizations and couple of pcs, it's just overwhelmingly inconvenient and tedious. yet now one could show me that it's worth it. i bet that there won't pass a mere week when cracks and patches become available. think also about money spent. cl said they have a team of scientists working on that code. they don't work for cookies. add to that possible loss because people get pissed off and/or worried about (possible) unfairness who won't buy an update and bad image cl gets in the community. is it worth it? adding all that, wouldn't they fare better if they just kept the old reg. proccess? there's also another catch: can you be really sure what data are transfered to software producers? you remember intel processors sending data "home", win xp, media player, and so on... we have only the word from cl that it isn't happening now, but the others told us the same initialy. and since this request code is built on your hardware - figure it out yourself. if cl doesn't trust you to keep your software secure, why should you trust them (any software company)?
