Re[2]: Activation Limit Exceeded with Voyager
Hello Krzysztof, That means that the same key was used to activate Voyager 5(?) Yes. times... It can be an _indication_ of software piracy. I know It's probably reason to make this limitation. Contact Ritlabs and explain the situation asking to extend the activation number... Hmmm ... that's right, but it takes time and depands on manual intervention of RITs... very uncomfortable. What is uncomfortable in it? If you should go and mine rock, that would be uncomfortable, I think :))) You have used up your 5 chances. It is also uncomfortable for Ritlabs. But if you know a better way to handle users who activates Voyager more than 5 times, please explain that. I dont... -- Vili The Bat 3.86.03 ALPHA (beta) on Windows XP 5.1 2600 Szervizcsomag 2 Current ALPHA is 3.86.03 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
Re[2]: Activation Limit Exceeded with Voyager
Hello Krzysztof, What is uncomfortable in it? Necessity to make a plenty of manual intervetions - first: user must send a message with description, next RITs must evaluate this, next RITs must reset 'counter' per user to offer next activation. More: RITs must have very detailed database per every sold Voyager. More: user BEFORE buying should be warned about this very crucial limitation etc. More: let's suppose failure of RITs database with counters. More: let's suppose - some lazy guy in RITs who refuse to reset counter for days... etc. Should be enough, don't you think? If Ritlabs saves with it on software piracy, it is worth doing it. The Bat! codes came up on the internet, I am glad they start to protect their intellectual property. Before anybody reminds me that I am a TB dealer: it does not have anything to do with it. It does not make any change in our income. It does have more with my (professional) hobby, software writing. Many people forgets that it is a job. E.g. plumber came, I had to pay for him fixing the sink. Ah, you are a programmer It took me more time to fix his PC than to fix my sink, and he was surprised when I gave him a bill, and not working free... (Same amount he has charged to repair the sink..) Show me another job nowadays that gives that many free stuff away than programming... Sorry, if you feel it is OT, I just wanted to protect Ritlabs point of view. However, I have to agree with you and I do it myself: I remind TB! Prof buyers that Voyager has a limited activation number. PS.: If you use up your 5 chances, I think RL can ask you without any prejudgment, to give them the explanation about the 5 licenses. (Other software companies draw the line at 3 license normally... or 1.) -- Vili Current ALPHA is 3.86.03 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
Re[2]: Activation Limit Exceeded with Voyager
Hello Thomas, What is uncomfortable in it? KK Necessity to make a plenty of manual intervetions - first: user must send [...] I think I'm with Vili on this one. A limitation makes sense. The question is whether 5 is enough. A registered user of TB Pro can use Voyager on five USB sticks. I don't know the market out there - Do people usually need more? See from another viewpont: 1 USB stick at a time, and you can ask 5 licenses because: - deinstalled, reinstalled - FLASH broke down, reinstall on another one - dog ate FLASH, reinstall on another one - FLASH fall into fish tank, reinstall on another one etc. The - Mom use it - Dad use it - Sis use it - Bro use it - I use it and now the dog would like to use it... ehhh... this would not be a good excuse for me to give the user a 6th license :)) If it adds something to the statistics: no Hungarian user ever reported to me that they used up the 5 licenses... Not even small companies with 1-user license purchased... Believe me, Ritlabs has a very liberal licensing scheme. -- Vili Current ALPHA is 3.86.03 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
Re[2]: Activation Limit Exceeded with Voyager
Hello Thomas, A limitation makes sense. KK No doubt, it makes sens. I don't deny it. I only suggest two ponits: KK a. users of Voyager should be warned about the limitation before they KK download software; I agree, I myself wasn't aware of this limitation until it came up in this thread. I agree with Krzysztof also. Online users should be warned PRIOR the sale. KK b. RITs sould provide some explicit and user-friendy procedure of KK extending limitation in question. That's a problem. If it is too easy, piracy would be rampant. KK None of above is satisfied now. It's always a compromise. Agree. -- Vili Current ALPHA is 3.86.03 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
