Okay - I'll add that to the list of things I didn't know that should have been made clearer.
For whatever my opinion is worth, and please take no PERSONAL offense here, that is a STUPID decision. The only reason I bought this program in the first place was to support your development because, as a technician, I find using this utility is very convenient. That said, I don't use it very often on my own personal system - I mostly used it as a portable tech tool that I use to fix client systems. Sure, I could just use the free version on client systems, but I liked using something that was portable and already had my license tied to it, that I could run directly from my flash drive OR upload to a remote client's system as an activated ZIP file, run and use the utility, then just delete it when I was done.
This new licensing method makes that totally impossible as I would need to purchase a license for each client I use the utility on, which is NOT going to happen. It is more likely that I will simply work around the limitations and use the free version, or I will just use my older v3 license as a portable version. I used it this way for years, and I know that is what is probably recommended, but it essentially screws the developers out of any chance of me upgrading it to a new version...ever..and that was the only reason I finally bought my license - to support a great program. Sure, there is a YEARLY tech option now, but there does the affordability factor right out the window.
Can I request to have my license to v4 reset? I activated the portable version while using on a client's system as I was unaware of the new limited functionality of the license changes, so it isn't event tied to me, it is tied to a client who doesn't even have it installed or know what the utility is - nor would they care. They just want their stuff to work.
