The Cm9K requires the CD every 14 days or 21 Chessnaster starts ( I believe).

The Engine require the OPK number VERY frequently - at least once on every
re-boot and very couple of days or so on my machine.

I never realized until reading one of Merlino's posts - there are acutally two
copy protection schemes working here - one for GUI that requires the CD, the
other for engine which requires the OPK number which is generated by the CM9K
GUI.  It has never been disclosed to me what the requirement is for the OPK
number - but I know it is much more frequent than the CD.
