Suggested alternative to 3 time Activation Limit

[Xcellent]

Xcellent please be so nice and do a investigation by yourself about the costs of such a USB dongle (the costs per software license are important).

US$24 , or US$25 here or EUR15.80 here. ("Steinberg Key" and "Syncrosoft" and elicensener is all the same thing). I have 3 dongles myself.

Just in order to understand, why this is no option for a low-cost software like Xara Xtreme is.

Some examples of 'low-cost software' that comes included with Syncrosoft Dongle:
Korg Legacy Collection - US$149 (dongle included)
Rob Papen Predator - US$179 (dongle included)
...
(There are tons of more examples out there of products including a protection key within their retail price)

Xara Pro - US$249 (no dongle, 3 x online activation only)


I have 3 dongles from various software packages i have purchased. 2 of the dongles are still in the original box since all the licenses are transferred to one dongle only. Once activated I just carry the dongle around and run the software from any other computer, more than 3 times on unlimited machines.

Isn't the 3-time activation limit only for the download version? I thought I read somewhere here that the CD version wouldn't have that limit (and Xara will be shipping the CDs soon).

That would be ideal!! I really hope you're right to avoid any dongle or activation madness.
