What os are you using? And about adversity to subscriptions, note that you can also obtain lifetime licenses further down the pricing page.

I use BSD. But it's ok, I'm kinda happy with the setup I have. Obviously I'm not really an "out of the box" and "use it like it's meant to be used" kind of person, otherwise I definitely wouldn't have used BSD :) And the marketshare on desktop is so tiny that there is really no value in supporting it, I understand that.

Yeah I remember that some time ago there was an attempt to make it run on BSD by some BSD users, but that didn't work out as some dependencies like the latest JavaFX version was not available for BSD yet. That is one of the disadvantages when always switching to the latest versions

> Windows enterprise systems are only supported with at least a XPipe Professional license. You can find information about upgrading to a professional license below. Welp. If I have to choose between XPipe and LTSC, I'm afraid LTSC is gonna win. I have no interest running a version of Windows where Windows Update will randomly decide to brick my install or better yet, add even more Candy Crushes to my start menu.

Are you using the LTSC version on your desktop or also for some of your remote systems? I think if it's only for the desktop, I can fix that as that isn't really intended to be limited to the Professional version. Didn't really test it on an LTSC system so far, so I will look into that

On my desktop, but I am trying to access it "remotely" from the same machine. I have a Linux host and an LTSC KVM guest with GPU passthrough so I can cleanly isolate (and more easily reproduce) my Windows environment. Currently, I just use VSCode's Remote SSH to develop in Windows, but it leaves much to be desired.

Ah I see. The reason it complains now is that the LTSC systems are called Windows Enterprise LTSC, didn't even know that they fell under the Windows Enterprise category.

You can run XPipe on a local LTSC installation, you just can't connect to one remotely because it thinks that you are connecting to a Windows Enterprise server. I will think about how to solve this the best way, because that wasn't on my radar
