PACE is "legitimate" software. There's been a year-long set of threads on the Cakewalk/Sonar newsgroups. It's broken some machines to the point of having to re-install the operating system from scratch to purge the low-level PACE locks. PACE removal instructions (because it survives removal of the locked application itself) are regularly posted on the newsgroup. Here's the company's website: http://www.paceap.com/ Prosoniq dropped it, and this might be relevant to the Finale discussion: http://www.crmav.com/88/prosoniq_to_drop_the_pace_copy_protection_from_all_products.shtml If Finale is using PACE, then it's a true disaster. Despite recent assurances that the product has been improved, PACE issues continue to arise, locking up computers and causing crashes. If you want a rundown, search news.cakewalk.com in the Product.SONAR newsgroup (warning: ca. 140,000 messages!) So it's critical for Makemusic to disclose this information. Thanks to David Lawrence for reminding us about this. Dennis _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
