The MorphOS license is tied to the hardware it is installed into.

No way to transfer the license to other machine, no matter what.

but how do have if you change computer?

You contact the MorphOS team and they'll resend the keyfile afaik for the new machine.
This can happen for example if you sell a machine (like Mac mini) and you don't wanna sell your keyfile with it (since you wanna use it to another new MorphOS system of yours).

This is not correct. If you want MorphOS on a different computer, you have to pay for the license again for the new computer, UNLESS your existing computer dies and you decide not to get it fixed. Then you can contact the MorphOS Development Team and provide what ever proof they ask for to show that your original MorphOS computer is not working any more and they will send you a new keyfile for another computer. MorphOS users just sell their old MorphOS computers with the license to get the money they need for a new license on a different computer (or, if they are like me, they end up with 3 or 4 computers that all have licenses for MorphOS2.x).

It is not a license scheme that most people are used to, and some people really hate it, but it is the easiest way for the Development Team to prevent piracy of MorphOS2.x in a way that does not require a great deal of time on their part to administer and is very secure by tying the license to the hardware of each computer they license it for.

I have no problem with this license policy and needing to sell the license with the computer, if I want to pay for another license on a new computer. It helps get other people using MorphOS2.x and I see that as a good thing. Buying a SAM440, or 460 requires you to buy AmigaOS4.x and those versions of AmigaOS4.x can't be used on other different compatible computers, so the MorphOS2.x license policy is not really that different, it just seems that way.
