this isn't software that you own - you're renting it for 4 installs and then you either pay more money for more installs or you don't have the software any longer.

EQ5 you can install as many times as needed.

You can't download any files for EQ6 to EQ5 and vice versa. Most free quilt pattern files for EQ are for EQ6. I have both because many of my pattern swap pals still use EQ5 and I'm too lazy to redraw in EQ6.

The limitation on activations is to prevent software piracy. Almost all software products have a limited number of legal installations.
The use of activations is explained in the link below. If you legitimately need more activations you can contact the company and ask for more.

i can only reconfigure my computer networking system in my home so many times before EQ6 will refuse to work or i have to buy more.
this is the reason i stopped working with EQ - i do all my quilt designs in corel draw instead of dealing with the nonsense with EQ.
like i said, i have it here, unopened and i don't think i'll be installing it any time soon.
