I do not have Hiarcs6, but by the sounds of it, the producers sound stupid to me for going overboard to a position if something goes wrong the only way to fix it is to buy a totally new copy. Well least in Australia, we have some type of legislation that ignores some stupid things like that. Maybe one reason why my local chess store does not sell Hiarcs very well. Who wants to take the risk. Some might agree with the producers decision to make it like that, but where I am from, we expect and get better service from our producers of software. Remember folks, software from Australia you can always rely upon.
