  1. Any software that requires online activation, as it seems v2 does (unless anyone knows differently?) will only be installable as long as the activation servers are kept running, or the company provides an alternative solution. Earlier editions of Adobe's CS are now effectively worthless, because they can no longer be activated even if you have the boxed product. Once any machine you have the software on dies, you are permanently locked out of the package you paid for. Adobe did provide activation-free versions of CS2 and CS3 for a while, but these are no longer available, and they're not bothering for CS4. The industry standard definition of 'perpetual' for products that require online activation seems to be 'about a decade', so perhaps they are best thought of as long-term subscriptions. Affinity v1, on the other hand, really can be re-installed for as long as you have a compatible machine, because all it requires is a product key.
  2. One of my favourite features of v1 is that there is no requirement for online activation - a simple licence key is all that is required. Is this method of activation available for v2, especially for computers with no internet connection? This may affect my purchasing decision.
  3. Does that mean 5 non-commercial / 2 commercial? Also, is it possible to de-register a PC and transfer the licence to a new machine without affecting the total count, e.g. if a PC is trashed and replaced?
