Hi Dave, I know the feeling, and agree it is extremely infuriating and aggravating. It is for precisely that reason I will never resort to system specific product activations. I think it harms the customer more than it does the pirate who can find ways around such measures in any case. I have even decided not to purchase some software because of that kind of product security.
