In response to:
In the case of Vegas, an activation code would not overcome the need to register a repaired installation (or installation onto a new computer/replaced-upgraded HD, etc) online. The installation would time-out after 15 days or whatever.

There was a register key file that you could get, depending on how you registered, but I doubt that would work if you had to replace upgrade the computer and re-install.

Don't know for sure.

Regarding the markets. They always to fluctuate to to mob psychology. As much as the market panics then there will be instabiliy. Leaving us to panic too. It is very disheartening to spend so much money on a product in this industry only to have it drop the ball on you. I have their whole suite of programs from the beginning. I must have easy spent $5000 or more on their products since SF's inception. Happily to do so since they have provided great software and catalogs. That's why I've stuck with them. Not to mention that their software is affordable comparable to the Digidesign suites.
