well there are many ways you can handle licences.
with dolphin stuff you can put as many as you want.
you start with 3 licences but you need to wait every 6 month for
either your keys to reset or a licence to generate so yeah you will
always have coppies but you just have to wait.
the bsc one is the same 4 keys, wait a year and then another 4 keys.
fs has a simuolar one though they need to reset manually and will
actually investigate if you go to far.
dvd audio extracter has 1 licence configured to 1 machine but you can
move this round and as long as you have 1 unit licenced with a
licence file though I have not tried it in theory you could
continously move it round or buy another licence whic would actually
stay online.
On the ms front I aggree with.
in theory as long as you are carefull you can use your key more than
once but just don't use the same key on millions of boxes.
There are loads of ways to handle it.
There are sinble key registrations then there is the obvious demo and
full game seperated different expiring downloads or just on cd.
ok it would still get distributed but hmmm.
Most of my software though is freeware or opensource.
I have several comercial programs, windows an old version of office,
my games, but the rest is free or opensourced with a couple
acceptions but thats mainly because I have not found legal programs
to replace them with or had the cash to buy them yet which I will
eventually do.

Hi Shaun,
I know the feeling. I wasn't a big Rail Racer fan, but I did beta test
it and had a license for the game that won't work on any of my newer
machines. Not only that I felt Che was being too strict with his
licensing policy so that if I wanted a copy for my desktop and a copy
for my laptop I'd have to obtain a second license. That kind of turned
me off the game right there.
I don't know. I think if I were to pay for an upgrade I'd also expect
that some of the licensing restrictions be lifted. I'd want to be able
to have a copy for at least one of my laptops as well as a key for my
desktop. If I can't do that then I'll probably say forget it. I don't
go for a lot of commercial software that won't allow me to put it on
more than one PC at a time. That is in fact why I have turned to Linux
for a lot of my software these days. I can't see paying double or
triple for the same software just to run it on more than one computer.
Cheers!
