unfortunately your inconvenience is only the smaller problem. The bigger one - what happens if you are fed up and go out of business? There are perhaps 100s of users with your hardware without any reseller, so to get SMSQ updates they would have to become their own resellers. Of course people will be wary to buy your HW in first place unless they know for sure they will not be locked out like that. Surely this is not the intention of the license? Richard
