some projects.
It's also quite amazing that many of us got more attention from
Sibelius than from MM.

You might be a different Dennis but I'm sure there was a Dennis on this
forum swearing he'd never upgrade software that used Challenge-Response
copy protection. Isn't Sibelius CP even more Draconian?
(Does it allow more than one copy?)
Sibelius copy protection is the same sort as Finale's (even if not the
same actual software code) -- Sibelius now allows 2 installations (so
you can have it on your desktop and your notebook computers) and it's
the same sort of system where you install the software and it links up
with the Sibelius mothership and gets an authorization code which allows
it to function.
And when I needed to get back one of my authorized installs due to a
hard-disk problem they were very helpful and quick to resolve my
problem. Finale's people were equally helpful and quick.
But it's not more draconian than Finale's system. Version 1 is what you
may be remembering, and that relied on a floppy disk to transfer
saving/printing capability from one computer to another. They abandoned
that, thankfully!
