Finale 2007 will NOT allow the user (me) to authorize, deauthorize, install, or 
even run the POS application under Snow Leopard.  Every time I try to launch 
the program, I get a dialog stating I need to authorize my copy, saving and 
printing are disable until I do so.  Same computer, different hard drive, newer 
OS.  I talked with a woman at MM (don't remember her name) and that was the 
gist of the conversation.

Another stake in the heart of my relationship with MM and Finale.
