Subj : Re: Lost software license To : Geo. From : Rich Date : Wed Mar 28 2001 05:38 pm From: "Rich" <@> The hologram is the same for all. Making each copy unique is not the = same. The license keys aren't assigned to the specific CD. Rich "Geo." wrote in message = news:3ac2aa53$1@w3.nls.net... I see. So it's ok if customers pay to get some laser etched copy = protection hologram burned into the CD but it's too much to ask for the = CD key to be on the CD? Come on Rich, they can make the CD require a key = they can print it on the stupid thing. It doesn't matter how, inkjet = would be fine. You know what I do? I take a black marker and write it on each CD, = looks like shit but it works. Geo. "Rich" <@> wrote in message news:3ac2a4cf@w3.nls.net... It's a sticker. You don't want a sticker on the CD. The MSDN = CD-ROMs for Windows 2000 have the license key as part of the label but I = believe that everyone uses the same key. I wouldn't expect every CD to = be unique. That would seem to be very expensive. To make sure I just = opened the Windows 2000 shrinkwrap box I have for the first time and as = I expected the sticker is on the jewel case. I don't see why Adam would have different expectations for losing = the physical software product than he would for losing a book, music CD, = or a cell phone.
