You must have missed my basic point. Ambrosia will not survive me. I have
already outlived another company who used the same licensing technique. That
company is gone and so is their software. Was it my fault that it no longer
lets me past the "Enter your License Key" window? You seem to think so.

I don't have any other software that has an expiring key. Not one piece. Who
else uses the technique? I will stay away from them too.

Nonsense. I've had to reenable a couple times. The whole thing took no time
at all, and I reload and reformat as much, if not more than anyone. You're
no more a victim of "Evil Snapz" than you are of Adobe, Apple, or anyone
else. It's a one time thing unless you loose your prefs. I always save my
home directory, so I don't lose anything much.

List me as an "Alienated Customer".
Then why complain? You don't seem to get that other people's actions affect
you in the real world, or the computer one. I was trying to point out that
Ambrosia didn't come up with this scheme because they were bored one day.
That's it. Had you said, "I find any licensing other than the honor system
unacceptable", I wouldn't have bothered.
