We could all go and read our license files and find out but that might cut the thread short. :-) IIRC the license was for 1 machine at a time no matter how many you have. A year or two or so ago one user popped up here (probably on the other list server) and was unhappy that the application was actually checking for another copy of itself running on the network as he wanted to edit on two Macs at the same time. > Through the app store, isn't the number of Macs that can run a MAS app pretty > substantial, in many cases making it an even better bargain?

But I have a related question: Is same price to buy a new license as to upgrade an old. So what is the advantage of upgrade between now and October when the new license's discount goes away? For instance some are already griping that 10 is different than 9. If I upgrade 9 to 10 can I still use 9 if I wish? If I buy 10 does it somehow interfere with my license to 9 or can I run both as I wish, possibly at the same time? As for editing of privileged files, thats not much of an issue for me. However I often invoke BBEdit from the command line as much easier than going to Finder to find my place to double-click the file. -- David Kelly N4HHE, [email protected] ======================================================================== Whom computers would destroy, they must first drive mad. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "BBEdit Talk" discussion group on Google Groups.
