Hi, Exactly. USA Games also doesn't offer hardware based keys because it is both a hastle for everyone, and I personally can relate to the end user experience of having a new key generated every time you buy a new computer, do hardware upgrades, etc. For example, back in February I purchased Windows Vista after it was released. i installed it on my computer, and by May that computers motherboard bit the dust. I called microsoft and explained the problem, and their answer was buy a new product key which was almost the price of the fricken software new. I ended up shopping around, found Vista on sale, for less than the product key replacement, and had to start over from scratch just because my hardware failed, and I couldn't register it on my replacement laptop without a new key.
