"If a program causes a problem - in my book it is a failed piece of software because it hasn't delievered what is expected. I am learning programming, and the first thing we are taught is that any software that causes a customer a problem is a failure..." LOL, then the entire computer industry must be a failure, because it's caused me nothing but problems... :) but once again, "onto the topic of the good suggestions!!! I like the idea of a hardware dongle option! these usually are not used for lower cost software since the dongle itself is about $30-$40. that's not a problem if the software is $3000, but if it's only $300 that's another story! do you think that CL should make a Dongle option available for users who want it? it would probably have to cost $30-$40 for the option (they should probably leave the lower software-protected price as well for those who want it cheaper...) what do you think?
