I read through David's excellent answers and looked at the e commerce site but perhaps someone could just distill this down into simple terms for me. If I buy v.10 it will be through a third-party vendor and it will be by download or by CD. In order to install the program I will be required to obtain an activation/license code of some sort. I will only need to use this code to install the game and thereafter I will be able to play DMB like I always have (whether or not I'm connected to the internet). The exception being if I want to install the game on a second computer which will necessitate entering the code again.
If that's all there is than it doesn't seem like a big deal but perhaps there's more to the story?
Thanks for your help!
