Nigel,
I agree what a bad policy re: hidden "Kill Code" written into a legal copy of Software.
I have been using musical Software programs for the past 33 years, and never dreamed that a legally paid for personal use Software program company could have been this deviant!
I'm just fortunate I discovered this on an off day, and not when I turned on my laptop on a gig night.
