Well, if by higher it has >0 security, yes, that's true. I've never 
understood why anyone running an NT-based version of Windows (and not 
dual booting) would use anything other than NTFS in the first place.

But most of the authorization methods I have read about do *not* use 
anything related to the file system, which seems pretty irrelevant to 
profiling a system. It's only storage, and the type of file system is 
something that ought to be irrelevant to the software registration.

Perhaps there's something involved in Finale's authorization scheme 
that is based on the way the Finale files are written to the disk, so 
that, say, re-partitioning your hard drive to have smaller sector 
sizes would trigger the problem as well.
