I don't have a problem with Protection of your software through some system. Heck, I when I get poser 5, If this form of protection is still in it, I will just ignore it the way I do the cameras in walmart. I have problems with the number of times you can install the software, 3 and have to get another code on the fourth, if CL thinks that you deserve one. I am constantly uninstalling and installing software to make the best use of my diskspace. Depending on what I am doing. If I doing a lot of poser, then I dump the games that I have installed and when playing games, poser gets dumped.
