Do you know why that was the case? Was Adobe scared that an insider would "steal" the licensing server software and operate their own copy? Why else would a company restrict an internal-only server software to only run on one particular hardware ...
Though, I doubt that that's the case for Amazon and AZW3.

No, as long as there was capability to deliver updates, they could migrate the key server for it. Probably did so over its life cycle. And it wasn't a pants on fire thing: licensing team knew this was coming and only had to point it out to clarify the eventual business decision.
And of course there was physical security. And that DRM had been cracked anyway. This was about protecting interests of customers.
Who knows about AZW3. Looks like it's getting a little more difficult to get at, which is why this particular thread is so active. I hope the doom sayers here are wrong and it stays around a least a couple of more years in the Download and Transfer via USB form, which is what I use.
