Hi DaveI've ben thinking along the same lines. Up to now,I've enjoyed the ability to download software and get the instant 'hit' and save all the materials involved in hard copy, but with an increasing problem that some are having with activations and so on I', beginning to think CD copies. One question though, don't some CD software require some kind of activation too?

It seems to me that anyone who enjoys re-installing windows every other week probably should strongly consider sticking to CD only purchases. For the other 99.99% of us, ten reactivations should be more than enough. For me, ten reactivations would easily get me through a decade of use or more, and I very much doubt I'll be worried about any FS9 add-ons in a decade.

This subject has been beat to death here. I am now locking this thread.
