CL can promise that people will not be left in the lurch if they go bust, BUT - If they go bust, chances are the rights to Poser will be bought by another company, and that deal would be likely to involve transferring the registration rights. In which case the "remove security" patch would NOT be released. CL's obligation that users are not left in the lurch is thereby fulfilled - for as long as Company X decides to continue supporting Poser 5. If Company X then pulls the plug, you're stuffed, and you have recourse to no-one. This is a good reason to distrust this sort of security system.
