"I think the link that kupa posted answers almost everything that people have been concerned about regarding the security measures." I liked this one best: "If you do not have a connection to the Internet, you can contact Curious Labs via email" :-). First draft maybe read "Surely you know someone you can mail your key to and have them send it by email":-). That said, the protection scheme seems pretty much par for the course nowadays with all the warez copying going on between the China Sea and the Volga (folks who have traveled a bit & seen a retail stores full of American and European software for pennies an app know what this system is an attempt to curb), & I'll be ordering P5 tonight:-).
