I can see both sides of this issue.
Yes, a lot of grinning theives are more than happy to steal software - or anything else that isn't nailed down. As a result, software companies are coming up with elaborate copy-protection schemes.
On the other hand, end users like myself are extremely irritated by the hoops that we are being forced to jump through. You pay $$$$$ to a company, and then you feel that you are being treated as a suspect.
I think that once an authorization code is given, it should work for as many repeat installations of the purchased software as a user might need. Yes, let CL have its copy protection, but CL's customers should also be shown some respect.
