Hello, NewToEmb has just posted in the Machines & Hardware forum of AmayaUsers Discussion Boards under the title of What if you lose a dongle?. This thread is located at http://www.amayausers.com/discussion/showthread.php?5572-What-if-you-lose-a-dongle Here is the message that has just been posted: *************** ---Quote (Originally by Posylane)--- I confirmed with Melco that if you lose a dongle, the software is gone. I found the Melco software ok but I am not married to it. I am going to look around at options. ---End Quote--- I believe Generations will replace the dongle if you pay $299 extra at the same time you purchase the software. You cannot buy it at a later date. You might want to check into that one. But no software is cheap! *************** =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
