In reply to John Jr.

John: the timing & communication was a bit rough. But, it had to do with timing of other things going on in the roadmap, but also:

A "heads up" could have allowed others who are {...what's the word...} "less-than-ethical" ;-) given folks like that a chance to spread and share p/w & .com credentials to receive unlicensed copies and facilitate (even more) some of those "piracy" sites.

Again, agreed or disagree w/ their "execution", I think the best thing now would be to make sure others know about this change so that they're not surprised as well....
....at the last minute! ....on a weekend! ....at the end of the month! .....when licenses expire! ....when CC's expire!

In other words: SHARE! :-)
