Hi Darrell: I had been assured by the highest authority that it would require HUMAN intervention if there was ever going to be a licensing "mismatch" detected, before the "remote deactivation" of a license.
We will need to watch for their explanation to see whether that policy has now changed for the worse -- with the very obvious result everyone had been fearful of (that any automatic process WILL fail at SOME point.) I cannot afford to run mission critical applications 24x365, if I have to blindly rely on the availability of third party resources that I know nothing about.

I sent an email back into support last night as I started having slow processing again. I have reverted back to 2.0.6 and all is running well. >From what I can tell (AND I COULD BE WRONG) it appears that the >licensing process is broke at the Declude end. I *think* one of the name servers they run (ns.decludekey.us ) for a domain cphzkey.com is/was down over the weekend. I am still waiting for support to respond. I am not going to go into speculation about the licensing process, because I don't want to feed any bad info because I have no idea how it works. However, from what I troubleshoot on my system coupled with reviewing a user.dmp/dr. watson from the decludeproc during the issue I feel comfortable in saying my problems that I seen on my system over the weekend are caused by a failure to validate its license.
