I have a desktop, and a laptop, and if I wanted to several other computers. But when i want to do recording or mixing I go in my studio not the bedroom, why not have a laptop in the bathroom so you can mix a tune or tow while you .... Never mind mental video i don't need or want.

Look you can have what ever you want around your house. But this activation key situation was not setup for you, me or any one person it was done to protect from people sharing the program with everyone they know. I and I alone own the copy I have not my wife, my 4 daughters, their husbands, and any grand kids.

I do get what your both saying, but we have to look at the bigger picture, it is not all about us. If you have a nice studio set it up and work there, seems to me three computers, and the ability to deactivate is a fair shake.

Anyway I hope you have a great time and make some awesome music with 2014
