Yeah, I agree wholeheartedly! I must say generally I'm no fan of activation per se (or indeed any sort of copy protection measures) - it is a pity if you cannot trust your customers. (But, that is a completely different debate I guess... If the decision has been made to put such protections in place then such objections are moot...)
