artificial restrictions in their product
How did you get it to happen? Is it in a new release? I almost
always have BBEdit open in my Powermac and my iBook and I've never
had a problem.
The limit apparently is set at 2 machines, and the OP used 3 machines
at the same time.
I agree with the OP that searching the local network for the same key
can be annoying at times, especially if *you* know that the real user
is just *you*. I wonder if the user name could be used: connect the
license key to a particular user name (long & short), because that is
presumably the same for one user on various machines. Avoid giving
out licenses for "Guest" users.
However, there must be a balance between user flexibility and Bare
Bones' commercial interests (my list of feature requests is still too
long, I really want them to continue for a little longer ;-). On the
whole, I think that Bare Bones found a reasonable balance (desktop/
laptop), but the OP obviously disagrees.
