Hi Philip.
As I have both a laptop and desktop, I personally like having audio games
installed on both. There are periods, sometimes up to weeks at a time,
when I can't get to my desktop at all.
If the internet registration would be similar to Vip gameszones, which only
allows the user
Right now, I can't actually imagine any faster system possible, - unless

I was amazed how litle time it took for me to get my Q9 key.
Beware the grue!

Hi Philip,
Similar setup to Dark here in that I have two computers and quite
often find myself on the road with only the laptop to game on. Some
developers have been cool about this, others less so. IMHO, the type
of people who crack or share keys will always do so, all your
protection will
Yes, it would be cool if I could have my game installed on both too, as I
take my netbook with me on trips and stuff and it would be nice to play
there as well. Guess that would only work with regular key registration.

Hi Philip,
I think internet registration is the best course of action. I did wonder
whether there may be cracks floating around. Only yesterday, a certain
individual who will remain nameless approached me to give him my Q9 key.
Needless to say I point blank refused.

Damien.

Hi Hayden,
In that case unregistration would be useful. That's how VIP Games Zone
approach this problem.

My one problem with the vip gameszone's ssolution is it only allows their
games to be registered on one machine, quite a problem if you own both
a desktop and laptop.

Hi Dark,
True enough. The system I'm working with, at least for now, allows you to
set a maximum number of computers.
You get a key, whether name or ID based, it activates online, but you can
register it up to how many computers you have available. I always allow up
to 3.

Hi tom.
It's simple. If according to you a game is not worth buying, then don't
buy it. The argument I wouldn't have bought it anyway, so I cracked it
is a stupid excuse that some people use to kid themselves and others.
The fact is that the audio game market is small enough without cracks
Agreed Willem.
whatever your thoughts are on the issue of copywrites in general, and
