Hi Liam,
Personally speaking, I think this is really goodnews. While I know that
in theory machine specific keys are more secure, it does crack down on
casual piracy, etc it also is a hastle for developer and customer alike.
For a small one/two man operation fulfilling those frequent key
replacements can be a serious annoyence. For customers that legally paid
for the product having to wait a week or more for a new key gets to be
frustrating, annoying, and down right sucks. I've got a couple of games
right now on my computer that needs new keys, because I just upgraded
the motherboard in my computer a month or so back. I'm personally sick
of dealing with machine specific keys forreasons just exactly like that.
I want to upgrade my system and then have to get a new key for half my
software. That's rediculous.
