I have EQ5 and have not upgraded to EQ6 because of the limited lives for all the fore-mentioned reasons.
If I pay for it, it should be mine to re-install as many times as I need, without further charge.
We all know how many quirks computers can have.
What if you just want to roll your computer back to a previous date, does that take one of the lives?
I have EQ5 on a computer that I bought in 2000 with Windows Me on it.
I also have a new computer I just bought but had XP and a floppy disk drive installed because of all of my other software that would not be compatible with Vista.
I feel it is my right to have choices with something I bought and paid for!
