I can't see the CD versions not having an install limit... that would be very un-Magix like!

I use some database software that can be activated AND de-activated online, which is another solution but the problem with that system is that it uses your machine name and installation on another machine requires you to re-name that machine.

Genuine users don't tend to give away their software and install codes, I know that I wouldn't dream of it... I paid good money for it...so the current system is a bit irritating, given the fact that if one was so inclined, you could download a cracked version within minutes.
