What PG Music should consider is to tie the registration to up to 3 computers (as they have done) or to the hard drive on which BIAB is installed. So those who don't use portable hard drives can still install it on up to 3 computers and those that do use portable drives can move the program around to different computers without the 3 computer restriction. Other companies like Plugin Alliance use this method -- they allow 3 devices to be activated, which can be any combination of computers and/or flash drives. So everyone who likes the new 3-computer limitation can continue to use that, but those who use more computers (like me) retain the flexibility to move the program to the computer I'm using. The release/restore utility certain alleviates some of the problem, but it is itself limited to a certain # of releases/restores so it's not the ultimate solution for those who use portable drives.
