you can blame the hackers and other wonkas for the state of affairs.
as an admin I really have issues with security on microfudge and others.
a couple months ago, windows decided that it was pirated on one of
the remote servers.
for a month it said it was alegal then suddenly fixed itself just as
I was about to fix everything by reformatting again.
After reading simular articles about it on my toshiba it mentioned
that if this bios needed to be updated.
in march this year the bios was updated because it was crashing with
some backup raid drives and such.
My suspicians unproven ofcause is that ms never refreshed its
database after the upgrade, and managed to go all this time since
march till july at least without an issue.
there were also some video card and dns issues round that time still
is one logged vid issue needing fixing.
for all last month ms said we were running an alegal copy of windows
and to pay 100 bucks for another key.
suddenly a day before I was about to instruct the system to reformat,
I would have done it earlier but didn't have the time that week, the
system rechecked and fixed its database and has been working
floorlessly ever since.
Ofcause some of the newer games entombed and some of the draconis
systems have a cloud based reg system where you don't get a code its
on your account and thats secured with a username and such.
I have a program like this for dvd extraction.
you have an id and a code.
They don't work unless you get an incripted file.
you need to login and physically varify yourself and then download
the file, and do whatever you need.

Hello Everyone,
I'm about to rant, so if your not in to that please delete this message.
I am so annoyed right now at companies, who do things to tighten their
security and make their products unusable. In the old days you had a
key and that was it. Now you've got to register your product, then
activate it, and god forbid you don't have an internet connection up
at the time.
The reason I'm on this kick is I purchased a game several years back
from a accessible game company, I won't name them, and played it very
well on my 32 bit xp system. Well, they tie the game to that system,
so that when I took that purchased game via USB thumb drive and
installed it on the new box, the key which I had when I purchased does
not work.
I'm therefor unable to play in anything other than demo mode, and the
dev won't get back to me.
Infuriating and aggravating!
Dave.
