Unimpressed with licensing
 

I had to change my product key for windows and now I can't use my Hero Lab for three days???

I find this unacceptable and don't care if you're terrified about piracy. Automate the process so it is instant or find another solution. Locking me out for three days is anti-consumer, inconvenient and more trouble than it's worth.

well it usually only takes a day, sometimes 2. I don't think demanding anything will really get you any time of constructive response.

Or, you know, if you're not currently using your second product key (which is free), you can try reactivating with that one.

More curious is the fact that you get a free reassignment per code and this sounds like he has used that free reassignment already. If you had read the policy you would have known that and would have prepared for this issue. Sorry about your feels on the matter, but I have seen way worse DRM and dealt with way worse.

To be fair to the original poster, it really does suck when a computer update suddenly makes HL unavailable. This happened to me when upgraded Windows 10 to the Pro version. No other software installed on my system gave me any issues, so I had no expectation that HL would have an issue and didn't discover until the day before I was going to use it in a game.

This is actually one advantage HLO will have over HLC. Even if my laptop blows up, I can still access my content so long as I have access to another internet capable device.

Again, I understand that RW has to protect itself against piracy and I agree that there are many advantages to their current DRM approach. I just felt folks were being a bit dismissive to the OP's frustration. I think it is reasonable and understandable.

Is there any way to find your license number? I don’t have my laptop with me and my iPad that I had HL on decided to die, and I installed it on my new iPad, but I don’t know my license number and I couldn’t find anywhere on their site that would help me find it.
