Hi coolfactor, The license file is indeed bound to the computer it is stored on. Without this limitation, making an infinite amount illegal copies of Versions would be as simple as copying a "License" file, so this is not something we will change in the foreseeable future.
Now for a solution to the problem at hand: 1. Quit Versions 2. Create a 'Versions2" folder in the "/Library/Application Support" folder. 3. Drag the "License" file from the Versions folder to the Versions2 folder. 4. Open a Terminal.app window and type the following two commands: cd /Library/Application\ Support/Versions ln -s ../Versions2/License ./License You now have the actual License file stored outside of the "Versions" folder, but thanks to the symlink Versions can still find it and will run normally. If you repeat this process on every computer, you can sync the "Versions" folder with Dropbox, the file that's different on each machine now resides in the Versions2 folder. Whenever you register a computer again, Versions will replace the symlink in the "Versions" folder with an actual License file, so you'll need to move it to the "Versions2" folder and create the symlink again. For clarity's sake: It is allowed under the terms of the EULA to register multiple computers, but we cannot make the actual "License" file, the proof to Versions that your machine was registered, generic. We'll be looking into proper bookmark syncing ourselves some time soon, so we can make the entire experience more seemless. :) Cheers, - Dirk the Versions team On Dec 9, 9:51 am, coolfactor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > ANOTHER UPDATE: > > It turns out that Versions regenerates the Bookmarks.plist file when > quitting, overwriting any symlink you may have created.
