______________________________________Joe - I believe you when you say the e-License registration process is simple and easy. I also strongly suspect that the resident service will not drain much system resources.
If DMB were simply for fun, then I'd have no problem with the process. My baseball replays, however, are pretty serious and passionate stuff to me. I have 40 year old score sheets and notebooks from the dice and card days. When I switched to the PC games 20 years ago, I replaced the notebooks with saved replay data. I have over 100 season replays, played on different PC games, coaching different teams.
The thought of not being able to access these life long data is pretty daunting. I'm not expecting everyone to understand that concern. I don't even expect people to agree with it. I hope some at least respect it.
I wish DMB would consider offering a conversion utility (even as a purchased standalone program) that allows one to convert version 10 data back to version 9 format. Conversion utilities aren't perfect, but if it converts most of the data that could be good enough and satisfy my worry. I'd then save my data in both the new and old formats.
I'm sure some are reading this now and believe I'm on an anti-DMB, anti-Dayne crusade. Quite the contrary. I am looking forward to version 10 and beyond as much as anyone. I'm pretty discouraged right now knowing that new versions will be introduced and won't meet my needs. I own every season but a few and I plan to purchase them as soon as the new store is online and I'm assured the e-License registration process won't involve the season disks. I'll continue to play version 9 and keep tabs on new developments here. Maybe someone will come up with an idea and a way to make this new process work for everyone.
