Your analogies are kind of off base here. A person buying a car knows its they are going to be stuck with that car and have to use parts that work for that car. If they told the customer that this license method would not work on any computer built in the last year nor any future computers then sure your car analogy is acceptable but you know they didnt say that....also the car would have to cost like 250,000 dollars =P
If the computer died the next month after she paid for the 5000 software would you still not think it was wrong that the company wouldnt offer a free upgrade to the usb dongle version? To me this has a very forced upgrade feeling that leaves a bad taste in my mouth like how teamviewer doesn't let you run an old version of the software if the new version is installed and the service is running. We don't upgrade teamviewer for those new useless features, we upgrade to avoid the hassle that they have created.
