It would be an easy thing for PG to do, in fact cubase I believe do something along these lines, the licence key has to be included in your registration in order to remain a forum poster, PG could use the sales number if they wished.

Can't tie an account to an ip address as many are dynamic there is no way PG is going to know if its a different or the same poster if the ip address changes and if the cookie is cleared within the browser, should a person decide to create a multiple account.

But I don't think its going to happen the nature of this friendly forum is that people can register and pose questions about band in a box before they buy it and I would want to be the last person to deny them that right.

Only a handful of posters (compared to the registered amount) post on the forum anyways, I can imagine a situation where someone has forgotton user name and password and its just easier to create a new one.

The biggest problem the PG forum has is spanners, 4-6 weeks ago every thred on the the whole front page was taken over by them,

Now if there was a way to stop that....
