I'm not demanding a torrent.  I'm pleading for the ability to do something

that any enterprise interested in the proper implementation of good
customer 
service ought to.  Whether you buy the software or buy the license,
there's 
no good reason why the software shouldn't be available, if you own the 
license.  Then, during the installation, when they ask for the code, you 
enter the legal code; this should be the gauntlet to navigate to make the 
copy legal.  Then, you should have to authenticate it, to register the
code, 
and then everybody's happy.  But apparently, you think that that's too
much 
to ask for.  I do not.
