Studio,
 
I know you are trying to do the right thing.  But content creators are in a sticky pace today, esp. software companies.  Along w/ musicians and production people who did make a living complaining how much tougher it is these days.  Even spotify etc. is cursed at by people who have seen their royalty checks shrink.  Because lots of poeple who should know better ... borrow ... software/content.  I don't think my daughters have ever bought a cd, much less a song and they know better.  I ask them how much music they could enjoy ain't being produced since there ain't no money in it.  But it is too easy. 
 
Since I'm a content provider, I get twitchy about it.  A lot of honest people don't see free downloading etc. as what it is - taking money directly from somebody else's pocket.  Glad to see you got it worked out.  Best of luck on the project.

You are saying you would give your copy of X3 that you got for $149 to a friend. That is what I call fraud. He has no right to have that copy. It is yours and yours alone. You are eligible for it only because you already have bought at some point a full version and have upgraded it from that first purchase. You can not give it away. Hence the upgrade path. 
 
I for one support the way CW has this system because it has kept our cost down and not required draconian copy protection. It is this trust that CW has shown to its users that I want to preserve. Maybe it doesn't matter to you but it does to me.  


AGAIN, John, I was asking Andrew!  I just want clarification from a CW rep.  I am not intending to act this out.  Like I said, I already registered and installed my upgrade of X3.  I am not going to give it away.  Take a step back, dude.  You just can't help insulting others, can you.  (a rhetorical question...see, no question mark at the end of that last statement).


You need to stop thinking I am trying to insult you. You ask a question and I answered. I don't try to insult others. I simply express my point of view. You confuse the truth with insult. That is a tactic used by bullies. It wont work. 


First, John, I think you should read your choice of words.  I am not in any way being a bully.  I am being direct.  Besides, I was not having a conversation with you regarding the X3 upgrade thing.  You answered with an unsolicited response saying, "... It's not that hard to figure out..."  which is quite condescending.  Further, in your next post direct to me you stated, "You are saying you would give your copy of X3 that you got for $149 to a friend. That is what I call fraud."  There you accused me of being fraudulent particularly by saying, "You are saying you would..." So, again, John, step back and think about what you have said to me.  I just wanted you to step aside while I asked Andrew a question.  If I am offended by what you express to me and I tell you so, that's the truth, not an insult and not confusion.  However, if you are younger than I think (and that would be pretty young), then maybe it's a matter of time before you see the distortions you have made.  Nothing personal!  But then again, if you are older than say a teenager, you might consider seeking some counseling by a trained professional.  It can only help.
