I'm trying to decide between Logic and Cubase and it just may come down to who has the most user-friendly software protection. Can anyone tell me what Logic needs besides a dongle? Is there a floppy you have to have as well? If your HD crashes, do you have to call Emagic and get some number every time you reinstall it? If the company goes down, are you screwed? I hate copy protection with a passion and it has kept me from going legit for awhile, but now my finances are better and I might buy Logic or Cubase if the copy protection isn't that much of a hassle. Does anybody have both and compare the differences in protection? Thanks.

If the > company goes down, are you screwed? I've recently installed LAMP 4.6.1 after using Vision for years and have found logic's dongle copy protection quite hassle free. The dongle is the only thing that's necessary (no floppy required). Don't know about copy protection with Cubase. Andris
