I thought it would be kind of like a code of some sort. You know...
when the payment plan is finished, you get the product key to put in
that would make the warnings stop showing up. They could make it so
that you'd have to log on to a website with the unit in question,
enter in your information, i.e name, bn serial number, etc, and then
the product key that they send you when you complete payment. If they
have each unit's serial number paired with the owner's information,
wouldn't it be kind of hard to crack? Forgive me if I'm making no
sense, but I'm not exactly a tech, and I don't always know how to
explain things that are related to tech topics in a way that always
makes sense. I can think it, but am not the best at getting it out
there. Anyway, those are my thoughts.
Kind regards,
Amanda
