The use of a built-in serial number for each machine can work very
well, BUT--

Suppose I replace a machine with another that will run the same
software?  Do I then have to get all new copies of any software I'm
using?  Or will there be (in all cases) an easy, quick way to re-
register the software so I can still use it on the new machine?  Or
am I forced to buy all new software, even though I'm still using it
on only one machine albeit a different machine?
