wdupre: my sister negotiated the software contracts for an entity known world-wide. I won't give the name because I don't want to cause her any grief due to my big mouth. But...if you have clout (and believe me, they do) you'd be surprised at how willing software companies are to place source-code with a neutral third-party as an assurance that should they go bankrupt the purchaser will never be harmed. Not that I expect CL to do that, but hey, talk is cheap. Why not just remove the copy protection? If it's cracked already, what's the point? Everybody who purchased it would be secure in the knowledge that they could, indeed, use it forever. End of philosophical rant I bought it...I intend to use it and if CL ends up not supporting DAZ products I'll buy DAZ's app also.
