I would think that Archicad could come out with a 100 hour key at a significantly reduced price which could be used as a backup.

I'm quite content with the USB WIBU key as it lets me work on any machine and 'carry' my license with me. Checking via the internet only works when there's a connection of course ... I would expect many more complaints if that were the protection method.
I can see your concern though! A friend accidentally stepped on his while climbing on his desk to open a windowand the key got bent.
