Activation in Stardock Products?
Published on May 31, 2005 By SuiteLife In WinCustomize Talk
Hi all,
I have been reading a "heated" discussion about activation system (mainly the one built into Konfabulator 2.0) and was curious what people hear thought about it. I personally dislike activation schemes for one reason only. I don't like the idea of paying my hard earned money for a product license, only to then have to "ask" permission to use it everytime I have to reinstall it or transfer it from one machine to another. This is one reason I have loved Stardock's policy on installers and keys. Since I never share my keys I don't have to worry about them leaking out and Stardock losing sales because of me. But I like the fact I have my installer and if I never want to "talk" to Stardock again, (like that is ever going to happen. ) I won't have to.

True piracy is a BIG problem and should not happen, but why should the legal users have to put up with something that others have caused? (I think I know what answer I will get from this statement.)

upside is 30 minutes of imaging and the system is restored.

Drive Image takes about 7 minutes to do an image...and about 12 to restore it...

I have the same dual-redundancy .... two HD's in caddies....can boot into either with just a few seconds swapping...
