Isn't it high time for ArchiCad to lose the hardware keys in favour of software keys like the ones for Artlantis??

Why is Graphisoft still using this technology? Replacing and updating keys are extremly user unfriendly and causes halt in production...

You guys should make a poll about this so we could have an idea of what percentage of people are OK with hardware keys and what percentage would like something else.

I don't see any reason for either to affect performance.

I don't know if the slowdown can be really felt by the user, but the HW key is continuously checked by the program, to see if it is still there. Probably this doesn't happen for a SW code.

1 hour in CAD-support is still much smoother and quicker then waiting 3 DAYS for your hardware key to be replaced when it stops working/ is lost/ stolen...
