One reason given to me by an RSI source was that HASP keys cost RSI
USD$200 each.
By disposing of HASP keys, the price of PC licences fell by USD$200.
That's 200 good
reasons, methinks! Actually 400 good reasons here in Australia...

And I must go on record to say that RSI is bending over backwards to
provide
solutions to licence issues at my place of employment since the
withdrawal of most
of our HASP keys in favour of licences keyed to Ethernet card addresses
or PC HD Disk
Serial Numbers or keyed to particular Servers. And it's not every day I
hand RSI a
freebie compliment - ask 'em ;-)
