CL's use of a "challenge code/response" they claim is to keep people honest. Seems to me they are only harassing the people who are putting their money on the line for the new version. The warez people WILL have the crack for this security system within a few hours after the program hits the market the same as they had the crack for the Microsoft XP activation system (the one that couldn't be broken..lol). This crack will be all over the Internet within hours. If the folks at CL think their security system is going to protect them from the warez pirates, they are only kidding themselves. There is no such thing as a security system that can't be broken. All they are doing is pissing off a lot of cash customers who are the core of their success.
