They only work with one computer. If you need or decide to replace computer you could be out more than the cost of the computer. It is a predatory business model. It provides for no backup capabilities. No real ownership to trade (as you can with paper charts or most cards. This is the Monsanto system designed to make slaves of the farmers.

It is not in our best interest to support this.

If you want to back up purchased charts, just make a copy. If you lose the working copy, just transfer the copies. I agree that there should/could be some method of transferring purchased charts to a REPLACEMENT computer and I'm pretty sure X-Traverse has some mechanism to do so with iPhones, so it probably isn't any great stretch for them to do so with Macs/PCs. If you are really serious about about backup, you would have a second PURCHASED computer with a second PURCHASED set of charts. In today's world, SW is licensed to you, not sold. If everybody was able to "trade" charts, SW providers would soon be out of business.

"Monsanto", "slaves" and "farmers"???? c'mon....
