radiance,

I don't have a problem with such policy, if this is what it means, but such is not clear from the way it is currently phrased. Having gone through a similar experience with Adobe, on account of which I have not upgraded since CS3, is it any wonder I thought this? This must be better ...

The email sent by refractive software, following my purchase, makes the following statement:

Please note that you may activate the license a limited number of times, so be carefull which machine you install it on…

How would you interpret this?

I was surprised to find out, after my licence purchase, there is an activation limit. I can't remember reading this anywhere upfront. This is devious in my view and a bad way to start a relationship. What I find worse is that there is no mention of how many activations we actually do have.
