Beatmaster, it has always been like this in the personal computer software market. You do not own the software. You purchase a license to use it which you approve when you install it or open the shrink wrap. If you have a problem with that concept, your issue is not with PG Music. It is with the nature of software licensing law (note I am limiting my answer to the USA).

The question by the original poster was solved, and very well, by PG Music.
