=== Software Protect Tied to Hardware and OS Installation Instance ====== Theoretical Solution to Software Protection Dilemma ===As a general rule it is not recommended to purchase software with such strong anti-copy protection, that your own system crashing can cause you to lose your registration rights even though you have paid for the software.The most common scenario is that your motherboard dies, and even though you cloned the system with something like Norton Ghost, you find that your motherboard is no longer manufactured. You purchase the closest motherboard to what you had. Now your Pico software no longer functions because replacing that hardware invalidated your license. The developers will not rekey your registered version even though you paid.There's a theoretical work around to the problem Use VMware. Create a virtual instance of Windows and then install Pico on the virtual instance. To a VMware instance of Windows, all device drivers are the same without regards to the actual hardware of the system. This way if you find you have to replace a key piece of hardware, your licensed version of Pico will, theoretically, not be invalidated.
