The key file is far worse. I don't need to prove anything. I'm a paying customer. The harder you make it for me to use and reinstall my OS the less I'm willing to purchase your product.
I stopped buying Windows at XP Home due to experiences with activation. Are you listening MorphOS devs?
Yes, but I'm not hearing any better alternative being suggested.
A physical copy with manual I'd thought would be a more ideal solution, it could be distributed by the Amigakit and Vesalia, and would not only eliminate keyfile issues, it would also increase the exposure of MorphOS by being available from two very popular Amiga web stores.
