Digital BW, The Print

The licensed per printer is an issue that needs clarified before I would 
invest. What if I change printers, e.g. get a used 1280 and then decide 
to buy a 2200. Does the license go with the original printer and I need 
to buy a new license or can I get the license transferred?

I know what they are trying to do with this approach, keep people from 
using a single license for multiple printer configurations. However, 
they way the are trying to accomplish this seems a bit customer unfriendly.

The serious amature market for their product is different from the 
professional market.
