Re: Go, software activation, go!

Activation is, as you hint at, actually for honest people.
It is there to make people resist the temptation to temporarily
duplicate software in certain situations, and probably for several
other reasons.

Are you saying it is to keep honest people honest? Or, in other words,
that it serves as a deterrent?

That is an interesting view, but don't you think that honest people don't
need a deterrent to stay honest?

Now if you had said that it is to keep the occasional simple piracy from
happening, just like locking a car will not keep a real car burglar away,
but it will probably keep out the situational thief, especially if the
next car is unlocked. In other words, it is to reduce the damage.
