I told you the basis of my perception: over a thousand clients and none
have ever had a bad experience like the one you described. Nor have any
griped about the license security, unless they were trying to bypass it.
I would think a sample of over 1000 users would be enough to estimate for
the overall population.
Also, all my users are corporate. I have no "personal use" users...

That lock prevents unauthorized users from getting in. You don't go around
handing your key to other people.

But those are only if you LOSE the one key you use.

So, you carry a set of extra keys on you? Redundancy is safe, I guess. :)
Look at the situation with the satellite rescue thing for cars. If you get
locked out, with some cars you can dial the satellite GPS place and tell
them you're locked out and they'll signal your car to get unlocked.
That's what we are. You need to move your software? Just call us and we'll
get you moved as quickly as possible. :)
