Digigammon -- automated transcription

I've been interested in the Digigammon project (https://www.digigammon.com/). For $1000, you can purchase a license to their software that will automatically transcribe a match from a video file, provided you also use their clock app on a Windows touch screen tablet computer.
On one hand, this is fairly expensive, but then I considered how this could be worth it to me if I can use it on enough matches. Manual transcription is annoying and time-consuming. I have to consider my time to be worth something.
My impression is that Digigammon is an impressive feat of programming.
I emailed the Digigammon team to ask a few questions. The one important question I asked was: "Can the Digigammon license be transferred to a different machine?"
XG provides this feature. XG has an "Activation Manager" where you can transfer your license to a different machine. When you do so, the machine you transferred the license from cannot use XG for some time (I don't remember, it's 24 or 48 hours). It's a perfectly cromulent system, and the restrictions are very reasonable.
The answer from the Digigammon team was: No, you cannot transfer the license to a new machine.
I am a little disgruntled with this answer, to the point where I think this is a deal breaker for me. Computers die, that's perfectly normal. I recently had a desktop computer die, and I seamlessly transferred my XG license to the new computer I bought. With the Digigammon rules, if a computer running Digigammon dies, that's it. I have to completely repurchase the license.
Am I being unreasonable in expecting to be able to transfer a Digigammon license to a new machine?
