Clever analogy defended[ Parent | Reply to This ] (none / 0) (#31)

I agree, I wouldn't be happy, but I don't have to get with Symantec (when the activation is working correctly) each time I download new virus definitions (new gas), or install a patch to the software (have the car worked on). When I upgrade to a new version of the software (buy a new model of car), then I do need a new activation key. So, it seems to me that my analogy still holds.
