Dont need code, just looking for overall strategy. while I never liked the idea of hardware locked activation, I dont see a viable alternative but would be great if there is one.

Looking for a low resource solution. Maybe a license file that has machine ID information, which I think is common. Reason for my question: Some customers say they need this becaus…

The article says you dont have to wait for June 1. Has anyone implemented this? What the process like.

I read both the Doctorov and Stoller articles but did not seen any proof that Booz-Allen receives the addon fees. Has an audit of their books revealed this?

Good ideas. Easy to add something to the download page when they first purchase.

Cannot disagree in concept, but the reality and logistics of doing that can get complicated. Going back a few versions, there were issues with the installation and also online lice…
