I was pissed off when I had to enter an activation code to play Football Manager 2009. Of course it had a device limit and, with Windows being Windows and needing to reinstall it every few months, it wasn't long before you had to go seek out how to deactivate a device. This was hidden in an obscure corner of the Sports Interactive website.
