If they can lock it to an initial piece of hardware, not sure what the big deal is about transferring said reg. to a different system - making the initial HW entirely incapable of running the regged version MOS was initially registered to. Even Windows doesn't lock licenses down like that if HW has been decommissioned, the OS can be re-purposed on new HW.

Shame really, I'd even pay a transfer fee for such a service. Only thing atm keeping me from becoming a regged MOS user.

No one is already oging to own the hardware that can run AOS4 and not be running it.
Well there are thousands of Peg 2 owners who could run OS4.

Indeed OS4 will never run on my Peg 2 while I own it, I had enough of HypeOS for the few months I owned a SAM.

I run MorphOS on my 400Mhz Efika and it flies, so it'll be running at warp speed on a PowerBook!

I'm thinking of a way to freeze myself until December so I don't have to wait so long to get MorphOS 3.0 for my PowerBook.

Ironically, i've got my eye on a Peg2 purely to run OS4.

My Power Mac is much faster so that's what I run MorphOS on.

Who? I think you're over-estimating the popularity of MorphOS.

Well.. OTOH, you get free updates with MorphOS. On other systems you might have needed to buy paid updates multiple times for the _same_ hw while waiting that beefier system on MorphOS... for the same money you could have several usable MorphOS machines and still get them all updated if you want even if they all aren't used primarily anymore. Who knows if you want to get them back to MorphOS in some point anyway and that doesn't cause any problems with this scheme. With paid updates they surely would get obsoleted faster, if you have to buy updates for all machines separately.

I haven't paid a dime for any updates with OS4. I can decommission any Windows license easily between hardware, locking out the previous hardware. I am not trying to be a dickhead, I want answers. One guy from the MOS camp said "it may be possible if you can prove your mac died in a fire", the others say "no", or simply won't respond. I'm not trying to screw anyone, I want to pay for a product I like!

Again, the problem being is I have a nice Mac Mini sitting here I would love to register MOS on for the interim, but I know I will end up wanting MOS regged on a more powerful system not long after. I should be able to decommission said Mini so it simply cannot run said regged MOS again and transfer the license, even if it's on my dime. For you barking about "piracy", it's locked to hardware keys in some form I assume. I am not asking for a VLK key or site license deals, lol. I am asking if ownership of said key be moved to different hardware, and unless they do things in a completely insane way as far as common sense hardware lock-ins go, all I see is a cash grab and inconvenience.

I have no intentions of regging an operating system 4 times over and only using 1 machine, sorry. The licensing terms are draconian at best and I can't seem to get an answer out of anyone.

I have no interest in buying it now and selling it (MOS) along with the hardware I still want to keep around running Linux.
