I have been following the piracy thread in the 3DS forum, since I now have two dongles and a printer cable dangling from my parallel port, the thought of a third dongle is a bit daunting. The software solution of requiring a new password to reinstall the software seems better, but will that still protect your product. Since I do not own any of Schreiber's software I have no experience there, but I would like to know if, in the event of a drive crash, and files are restored from tape, would the software protection detect that as a new installation? Still, my vote is for software protection. Andrew.
