When I registered my copy of Poser 5 on their website, they gave me the whole registration info, including the response code, the authorization code, name etc. Though the codes are very long, I printed out my copy incase a problem occurs (as mentioned above that CL goes bankrupt). I assume that incase I manually need to authorize my copy of Poser 5 (incase I replace my computer etc) this information when inserted manually should do the job. So while I agree with most that these copy protection methods are annoyance for legit users, CL does provide you with the information needed to reinstall the program if need be without having to contact them. You just gotta remember to press the 'Print' button when you first register it :)Hope this helps. Thank you, Wind Walker www.e-prizm.com/blackthorn
