I always read license agreement.  Are you saying I had a choice to leave
Finale and purchase something else?  License agreement means nothing
because they are not going to give you money back if you decided not to
agree with it.  When I obtained the 3rd auth, the support person wanted
the proof that I am the only one using Finale, which I gave.  She was
totally cool about it, and told me they just need to make sure I am the
only one using it.  This time, the different support person came back at
me with totally different attitude, that is pissing me off.

All what I am saying is that it is not fair they do not provide easy way
of moving copy between machines yet they limit installation count. 
Finale is the only software I own does this kind of punishment.  Other
DAW software I use either provide instant auth generator on the web for
moving installation or use iLok, which I oppose because of the possible
OS threat but now I feel it is better than what MakeMusic is doing.  As
you said, site license is per additional user, which I don't have.

I was rather shocked to find I am totally alone on this.  I guess I will
shut up now.

P.S. Regarding iLok, I have one for MX4 and another for MachFive.  Oh,
and one more for MachFive Windows version.  I have been refusing to
combine them into one since I don't trust them.  One of my friends was in
a similar situation, got tired of carrying two all the time so he tried
to combine them.  Guess what.  Both of his iLoks are dead, and PACE is
trying to charge him for support incident which he refused.  He can't use
his paid software, yet he is not getting any help.  It just amazes me why
paying customers were the ones being punished all the time.
