Once again my dongle didn't work. There was no way for me to de-configure my com port, and once again, after climbing into the rack and taking the computer out the dongle just starts to work for no apparent reason. I just don't understand. I scanned for it, nothing. Then shut down the computer, reboot, and then reinstall and it works fine. I just don't understand, why? I mean nothing had changed the box hadn't moved, and the dongle didn't work, and then did. I am just getting frustrated of dealing with the copy protection stuff. I paid $560 US for the software, and for that I shouldn't have to deal with problems with copy protection. Copy protection is meant to deal with the piraters, and not me and all other legal users of this software. I might be smarter for me to get a hacked version, then I wouldn't have to worry about dongle, or cd protection or whatever else emagic has in store. BTW, I am just griping b/c I am tired of messing with the reauthorizations and dongles. I still really love the software, I just wish it was easier for me to startup and use.
