They are doing it to shut down salons that got the software illegally.

It's like saying why does the illegal copy of windows xp i have on my computer shut down and not work anymore with the crack i used. I got it off torrent site fair and square. I'm sure Microsoft would go for that one and give you a new version for free.

I understand why they are doing it, to shut down the illegals. The stolen ones, the burned copies and illegal dongles.

If you got your helios from helios directly, you will get a dongle. If you bought yours for cheap from a salon closing down, you don't have a legit copy and you are SOL.
Yes, that is the method of their madness. I got my copy for a former salon, but I did the legit transfer of license so I am all good.

Point is how are we salons suppose to know about this? Most never got an e-mail or a phone call or ANYTHING. That is where I have the problem. Its not what they are doing, its how they are doing it.
