BIAS Peak Pro 6.1.1 (Mac OS X)

A word of warning if you change your CPU frequently  

I'm the kind of guy who updates his gear pretty regularly. Since obtaining Peak Pro, I have installed/authorized then uninstalled/deauthorized it on at least 3 desktops/laptops. That's why a deauthorize option exists -- so you can legitimately move it from machine to machine when you upgrade or change your hardware, etc. Yesterday, I bought a new MacBook Pro. When I tried to DEAUTHORIZE Peak from my old one, I received an alert telling me I couldn't because I had DEAUTHORIZED the program too many times! Now, having just about every plug-in out there, plus plenty of other audio software and Adobe CS4, I am very familiar with the concept of limited AUTHORIZATIONS, but I have never heard of limiting DEAUTHORIZATIONS. The former prevents license fraud, but the latter enforces license adherence, so why incorporate such a lame and debilitating routine? Of course, this happened on a holiday weekend, and the only instruction is to email Bias to see what they have to say about it. I guess a manual reset of the count or something. Who knows. I'm still waiting. Sigh. [alert admin]
