Doesn't matter how easy it is to do - I should not be "forced" to re-download ANYTHING after they have got my money. Once is enough - just like almost every other CD-Key protected application.
As I say - their loss - not mine. I spend a lot of money on software - but I have my principles.
The number one thing is that I am never forced to re-apply/join/down-load/re-connect etc.
I should still be entitled to use what I paid for without an Internet connection.
As far as how easy it is to crack without the hardware crack - also their problem not mine.
I am in the business of being a customer, and as such, their costs and troubles of doing business are not mine.
Simple really.
