Licensing

[Boaz Bezborodko]

No, I didn't forget it.  I was mentioning it as a potential solution 
that for Filepro to look at given that the license manager seems to be 
an obstacle for people.   I didn't say it was going to happen.

>>> So if I'm understanding this correctly, it's pretty much the windows that eat up licenses. If I have three separate Windows of filepro open on my computer I'm pretty much using three licenses running Windows server 03 or 08. If that's the way it works now, at least that would be an easier way for me to determine exactly or approximately how many licenses I'd need to purchase.

I wonder who else thinks that filepro could be loosing a hell of a lot more money than they're making by implementing this ridiculous licensing crap. It's kept me from updating for years now and still might. I'm sure I'm not the only one that feels that way.
