Nice to hear, finally they made it. We can now render even faster :)

BTW if I put new VGA in my rig what happens with license? I need to re-register again? And if I put more RAM or some of my HDD cracks - i got 3 at this moment, or I change VGA more often or put second one, or third ? Or I change my RIG with new one? Does this means I will lost my license if I need to re-register more often for hardware changes? After all I bought software not hardware right?

No, your license will be OK ;)
But if you change your whole workstation, yes you will need to re-register

Re-register or re-buy license? Sorry for asking, but it's important people and me to know this.

Don't get excited yet - call me a pessimist, but it will probably be a few weeks before you actually see one in a store.

the fact that this gfxcard needs over 300w is just plain silly, I have no desire to get that kind of powerwaster :)

you only need to reauthenticate if you change your PC, not a GPU.
we review authentications personally, so it depends.
if it looks like users are abusing the license and installing it on multiple PCs or friend's PCs, we will deny the request.
