Most of their free products in the past became pay products later (Replica, Driver, Supercharger, etc) so the serial # lays the groundwork for that, I think.

If they didn't call it a "service" you might think it was a convoluted procedure for proving that you are not a criminal, for assuring that NI gets paid, and occasionally getting in the way of you enjoying your purchase.
 
But of course it's a "service"! Exactly like someone serving you a meal (or unclogging your plumbing or performing a colonoscopy). Just one trivial difference: you are the server.


All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.

This morning I ran the service center and noticed there was a Reaktor update I hadn't installed, so I clicked install and everything went fine. Just now I tried to load some projects and all my instances of Reaktor are saying they cannot locate their ensembles. Great. So I open the service center again and would you credit it? The damn thing won't connect to the internet. Thanks NI.

I just recently updated Flash as well, I wonder if that's giving the Service Center problems because it's a Flash based app (or at least it used to be).

Looks like the NI servers are having issues - 
I just purchased the Komplete 10 update, and neither the downloader or Service Center can connect...
