My wish:
Uninstall process automatically deactivates Vectorworks from that computer (Y'know, via the internet), thereby making the license immediately available for installation on any compatible computer.

A license holder should be able to transfer the license at any time, to any compatible computer, without intervention from Vectorworks staff.
