Microsoft, Adobe and Macromedia are using it now. Can Chessbase be far
behind? I'm talking about activation technology on software products.
Currently Chessbase hasn't implemented this...and to my great relief
still hasn't done this. But I'm not very hopeful. Chessbase has become a
very powerful chess software company and only time will tell if they
ever decide to take this route. If they do...it's goodbye to buying any
Chessbase product for me. I will not purchase a Chessbase product that
requires activation. I'll stick to Winboard, Scid or Arena or Chess
Assistant (if Convekta doesn't try it also) instead.
