The fact is, "one user" has to be somewhat of a vague term in order
for it
to be useful in a software sense. I can understand the original
poster's
surprise and annoyance. However, I would suggest that he try and
see that
BareBones has tried to do well by their users while still
recognizing the
realities of the marketplace and learn to ignore the nag box.
You can't ignore the the nag box. It pops up any time you do
anything. Press a key? Nag. Do a search? Nag. Command-Tab into the
app? Nag. It completely locks up the whole app, and won't even let
you hit OK for an increasing number of seconds each time it pops up.
It's just slightly preferable to the app quitting outright.
(I tried including a copy of the nag screen in a previous e-mail, but
apparently it didn't go through.)

This seems to me to be a simple way for BB to fix the problem. BBEdit
obviously "knows" when it's "in use"; it's pretty hard to make use of
it without any keyboard or mouse activity at all.
So if a copy of BBEdit is idle, don't include it in the nag logic.
Much less sucky.
I don't do any scripting, but it seems to me that if a user had BBEdit
running so it could respond to an Applescript (for example), then
it could
be both "in use" and "idle." Could there be such a situation?
And while we're on the subject, my two cents is that the definition of
"single user" seems to vary all over the place. Some years back I
asked the
fine folks at QuarkXPress if I could use my copy of Quark both at
work and
on my laptop (but never at the same time), and they said that if I
wanted to
do that, I had to buy two copies. They defined "one user" as "one
computer."
I have BBEdit on one computer, but when I'm on vacation it's used
by someone
other than me. I don't think any of us want that to be considered
multiple
users and necessitate the purchase of additional licenses.
