Check the rF forums at Race Sim Central for more details.
Bottom line, I wouldn't worry too much about the three-install
limit. And ISI has promised no hassles if you do need to ask for
more keys.

Well, despite all the fear mongering, I haven't had any issues with
Starforce or rFactor's key system...
I'm curious though, what do other games like LFS use for copy protection?

There is no problem with installing rFactor as many times as a person wants.

I've never had an issue with Daemon tools and starforce. Have them both
installed on my system with no problems...?

Cheers,
Rod.
Me too, no problems encountered, even with the last >1 year old Daemon Tools
3.xx version - still haven't updated to the 4.x series. I don't understand
issues that people have with StarForce. There are some issues in
out-of-the-box games that have an old starforce version that causes
compatibility problems, but those were usually sorted out after updates to
the game itself or manual update of the starforce drivers.
Generally Starforce is a bad thing, though. It prevents a legimate customer
from taking a backup copy of the game he/she bought, and I doubt the
publishers will replace a worn-out cd/dvd :/
