as a non-driving cyclist commuter, I find this analogy bizarre:-) I'm all for cars not going over the speed limit, but that's another issue... If the complainant wants to actually get this somewhere, perhaps he should come up with a better solution? THe problem is multiple installations and BB making their bucks to stay in business. No checking at all does not address that concern. Shouting and screaming does not change the fact that this issue needs resolution. But a quick comparison with other licences seems to make this policy seem completely soft: when I used Quark Xpress on two machines under OS 9, it would freeze if it could not contact the network to check. When I occasionally use Word (for which I use a college-wide licence), it quits if is running on another local machine. Getting a warning from BBedit does not seem excessive to me, especially if it's only for a *third* machine. In fact, the reason it's gone for three years without being noticed is their enlightened 'two machines' policy (BBEdit is running on both my machines almost the entire time). So either come up with a workable solution to the problem or give it up because if it's a simple matter of economics, you're apparently on your own (unlike those installing BBEdit in an entire office)... Seems to me BB has, as usual, implemented a sympathetic system that is not unduly harsh, by any means. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Have a feature request?
