[QUOTE="Aptmunich, post: 566519, member: 3850"] Rubbish. If Apple was doing something of the sort, people would know about it. Besides, iWork requires a serial number, as do all of the Pro apps. OS X Server also requires a serial number and even scans your local network for duplicate serial number usage. So it's not as though Apple doesn't care about piracy - but they choose not to both regular consumers with serial numbers and activation. Everyone who buys a Mac has already paid for at least one copy of OS X and the fact that Apple trusts its users to buy future upgrades says a lot about the company. [/QUOTE]
