I wonder what sort of system changes will precipitate a need for a new installation code for Finale?

The challenge/response system is seamless if you do the registration over the internet. In that case, there's no extra user involvement required.
It also says we have permission to install the program on TWO different machines -- there must be some sort of installation code that becomes portable from the original installation.
I get the impression a database at MakeMusic! keeps track of the number of installed computers for each serial no.
Somewhere (I can't remember if it was the e-mail advertisement or I read this on the FinaleMusic website) I read that we would have unlimited re-installs but it didn't mention if we would need to contact MakeMusic each time we needed to re-install the program (assuming, of course, that MakeMusic remains in business and is willing to support Fin2004 forever).
To get more installs than 2, you have to contact MakeMusic! to activate an extra install.
Btw, it's a computer-specific challenge/response system (so it will "survive" a reformat and such things). I would _guess_ it's very similar to Microsoft's.
My only concern is what's going to happen the day MakeMusic! decides that Finale 2004 is "dead" as a product and no longer provides response codes.
