In the old days you had to negotiate with Magellan for a replacement if
your copy of DirectRoute quit working. There was a fee for that too I
think, like $25 or so.
I think that V2 was the last version of DirectRoute that did not require
unlocking. Starting with V3 it came on DVD and had to be unlocked to
one specific GPS receiver and that could never be changed.
If you have to enter the serial number of the GPS receiver while making
maps, those maps will only work with that receiver. But you could enter
as many different serial numbers as you wanted (one at a time) and make
maps (one at a time) for more than one receiver.
Being able to use DirectRoute to make maps for more than one receiver
was not in keeping with Magellans intentions or business plan. They
wanted you to buy and use one copy of DirectRoute for each receiver.
But I also knew they wanted to compete with Garmin (who were giving two
unlocks at that time) so I made maps for two receivers with mine.

Not to mention, you have to have the CD in the drive in order for the
program to run. There is a hack for that.

It's called 'copy protection'. There are a number of backup programs

that claim to do the job. Can't recommend any of them as I never copy CDs.
