You won't even notice it. It feels like a simple online registration, but
what's really happening is that your specific computer is registered and
activated using a most likely globally unique ID.
You will only notice it when trying t

Yes, you can contact them 24/7, but people aren't monitoring it and
replying 24/7. When I first bought Sibelius I had to wait a day to get
my registration. Luckily that was within the 5-day use-before-disabling

This brings up yet another legal issue that I'm not sure MakeMusic have
thought about -- if the software is registered to a specific machine,
does it remain with that machine? Talk about giving away free copies!

Really? I've re-registered my copy of Sibelius on the internet by filling in their
form, and I got my registration number emailed to me right then and there, within
seconds. I was up and running
It's the "one working day" bit that is the problem -- they don't work on
the weekend or late at night. At least they didn't when I registered my
copy of Sibelius. So if you have a problem on Friday evening, it might
not be until Monday that you can get working again. Which is rotten if

Oh, great, now I'm gonna have to go buy an $80 "dongle" just so I can
guarantee that my legally purchased and never pirated copy of Finale can
work, should I move to a new computer after Apple has purchased MakeMusic?
And here I thought the cost of the upgrade was supposed to be $89!
