Really come on now every software package I have in my studio bar none, have activation codes. Studio one, jamstix, EzDrummer, Sonar, Multitrackstudios, Reaper even requires a license key if you purchase.

Why should BB be any different. My key code came with my purchase confirmation email, and I just cut and pasted with both BB and RB all is good. 5 seconds and I am a licensed owner. This is smart as it keeps honest folks honest. If someone wants to crack and cheat they will find a way.

I imagine that some folks buy and use it properly on a couple of their own computers, but still others then load it up for every friend they have, and that is just not right.

So for users like you and me, we should not care that PG wants to protect themselves from that. That way those that want it, pay for it, and activate it properly, and money is there to do further development.
