Eric, Re: This raises the more interesting question which is "re-hosting" i.e. you upgrade/swap to a new computer. How do you tell the vendor you have done such and should be given a new key for the new box?

As a developer using these 'feature lock' technique, we are
facing this situation once in a while. I believe in the
future, the whole scheme would be easier as more PC would
be connected and instead of permanently unlock, it can be
done annually or twice a year interval which would make
moving or upgrade hardware easier as all one need is to
through the WEB(or whatever mean convenient) to get a new
key and the one on the old machine would be expired. For
machine which just stays there for years, it is just a
re-issue of key.
