" Perhaps that statement is the key to understanding their meaning. In other words, as long as I don't buy a new computer, I wont need to reregister with a new code?<<

That's how I understand it, yes.

Nice photo of a VU meter. Lately, I've been inside some state of the art recording and mixing rooms at Universal Studios and Sony Studios. I got to watch James Newton Howard conduct musicians while recording his gorgeous score for the upcoming Tony Gilroy film, Duplicity.

Amazing places, those studios. In the mixing room at Universal, they have enormous virtual VU meters on monitors arrayed along the bottom of the screen, so you can watch the action on the screen, while keeping an eye on the levels for something like a dozen tracks at once. And we're talking about a huge main screen. Each VU meter is probably two by three feet, so you can see them clearly from the mixing desk, which is maybe twenty-five or thirty feet from the screen. Very cool.

Everybody uses Macs in those rooms. The speakers are B&Ws.
