While I'm not a fan of product activation, I submit that there is no viable, non-activation alternative to Contribute. If your job is to write content for a web site, and that site uses the Contribute publishing model, you're going to have to use Contribute. It's not the kind of thing that people will be going out to buy for themselves, I suspect. It is the kind of application that seems vulnerable to rampant piracy, without measures taken by MM, just like MS Office.
