I think at least one other vendor does this as well. I
recall reading about it in TASC a while back. It's something
like each processor generates its own code or signature.
After the install, you have to call the company, give them
the generated number, and then enter the password they
provide. The s/w is then permanently locked to the
particular machine (i.e. processor). What a pain. I
sincerely hope Omega doesn't use that method. 

Best regards,
