[Finale] FinMac Copy Protection

[Darcy James Argue]

In troubleshooting a new processor upgrade (1 GHz G4 -- woohoo!  
There's life in this old beige G3 DT yet!) I recently had to reinstall 
OS X completely -- no "preserve Users and Network Settings", I had to 
install a completely clean copy of OS X 10.3 without any preferences.  
I did not erase the HD first, though, so in many cases I didn't have to 
reinstall apps.  For Finale, I had to reinstall the fonts, but that was 
it.

Anyway, I was curious whether my Finale registration would be 
preserved.  Most of my other registrations (for DragThing, etc.) were 
lost and I had to reenter the serial nos., etc.  But Finale did not ask 
me to re-register.

So, for the curious -- in the event that some day Coda folds completely 
without releasing a universal key for Finale, you *can* do a clean 
reinstall of OS X without losing your Finale registration (so long as 
you don't completely wipe your HD).
