I hope there will be people standing up against all this whining! From what I have seen, there is no way to compare that scheme with that of Finale 98. You buy your software, then register it. Software companies HAVE to find ways to prevent illegal copies of their softwares and god knows how many there are. We choose to take the legal way because it is fair, and because we want MakeMusic to continue their research to make Finale a better software. I see Dennis's post as HUGELY OVERREACTING. I also see some hypothetical problems if Coda stops to support 2004 but our plug-ins developpers have always provided solutions to things Finale cannot do and am confident that if EVER it comes to that we'll find a way through. Wasn't it clear that you have to register ONCE and then the computer remembers that code even if it is reformatted. At least it's the way I understand it. If you ever have to work temporarily on someone else's computer, you CAN do it with all the features enabled for a whole month. Pirat copies of software is a HUGE problem and the solution here is nothing to disturb me in the way I normally work.
