Hopefully one of the people involved frequents here, as I aren't keen on signing up for another forum just yet.
1: I've seen mentioned that if the machine croaks, the license can be transferred. What exactly is involved in this process?
2: Any provisions for transferring a license to a newer machine?
F.x. I buy a G4 powermac, and later get a mac mini
3: Any other benefits of registering other than losing the 30 minute slow down limit?
4: How sensitive is the license to swapping equipment? F.X. RAM or video cards
Thanks in advance!
I'm not an expert, but I think I know the answer. Piru or a dev can correct me if I am wrong.
1) The MOS team tells you a specific procedure to prove to follow to prove the machine is truly dead forever. i don't know the procure, but I suspect prying off a vital chip and mailing it to a team member.
2) No.
3) No, expect for supporting MorphOS future development.
4) Not sensitive.
-PERSONAL OPINION-
The compulsory licensing scheme that ties the license to the machine is crap. I understand why they are doing it, but I don't like it. All things considered and compared to the Amiga clone alternatives, it will be worth the money for me. I will be registering either tonight or by this weekend, if all goes well.
