Title: Version 8 requires product activation
Review: This may be the best value in the world, but when companies are not up front about product activation, I consider them outright deceptive. As a software developer myself, I understand how companies want to try and address piracy; however, what am I suppose to do if this company ever goes out of business? I build my own PCs and change over systems every two years or so and need to reload all my programs...who knows where this company may end up next year or the year after that. If they go under and I need to reinstall, then what? I make it a point to NEVER by any software requiring product activation and I would not have bought this if I had known - at least it was cheap. Companies, you want your customers to be honest - why aren't you?? At least be up front if you're going to require product activation so the consumer can make an informed purchase.
Is the review positive or negative?
