well myself. I don't mind if I had another system but will have to choose what I register on it. the bsc and gma game replacements are free for the most part unless you go over the bsc limit of 4 keys a year. Vipgameszone hmmm will have to leave that one out. same with railracer, I don't want to pay for another system just so I can play the game on it. I think if I had to do this I may just have to either scrap the entire game or something. luckily these are not played often. there is missippy ofcause and I have no idea if I can register it on another system or if I need to request a key. I suppose if I copy the product id out of my system and use it I could but really don't know about that. mostly though I think I'd be ok previded that I could get the devs. Hmmm I now wander if I can transfer keys, that is if I have a dead system if I tell the dev maybe I can transfer my licence somehow. I have a dead system, here that had all my keys on it. therefore if I could invalidate the keys that were dead I'd have spares for say another system or something.
