Re: License Agreement --- Only 1 install???
I absolutely agree. I rotate between 2 machines, only working on one at a time. I'll purchase one license for myself, for my laptop, but I refuse to purchase a second license for the two or three times a week I need to use my desktop machine. This is disappointing. I was expecting to purchase multiple user licenses for my company when Versions was released. Instead, I'm going to recommend that we standardize on a different package instead. I can't justify 2-3x the cost per developer. Best of luck, it's a great product - but understand that you're going to lose a lot of potential licenses by trying to force people to but multiple licenses.

License not working, support form failing
I purchased a single license, received it via email, and attempted to install it. It doesn't work - I'm getting an "Invalid machine ID" error when I try and register. Anyone else see this? I suspect that the servers may just be overwhelmed... Jeff --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Versions" group.

Re: License not working, support form failing
Hi Koen, Unfortunately, it still fails. "Invalid machine ID 02=DEE1e" Any help would be appreciated. If you think it's still related to the servers being overloaded, I can wait another day or so.

Re: License not working, support form failing
Something interesting I noticed. I registered my license under my home email address. Versions seems to want to pre-populate the dialog with my work email address instead. Everytime I go into the dialog to try and resubmit, I have to change my email address back to my home address before clicking submit (my name and license key are retained properly). Could it possibly be that it's using the wrong email address for a checksum? If not, other hints would be appreciated.

Re: Product Activation? Ugh.
Bump for this, well-stated. It's a shame that companies feel they have to do this: it inconveniences paying users, and is a minor obstacle at best for anyone that really wants to steal the software. I've been burned a few times in the past, and I'm pretty disappointed to find that they've locked Versions down this tight. My current situation is a perfect example: I bought a license 6 hours ago, and it fails to validate on their server. I'm sure they'll eventually fix it (they seem like a decent folks) but in the meantime, I'm spending time posting on this forum, trying permutations of license details etc. in an attempt to get it working. Basically, I'm wasting _my_ time as a paying customer, trying to get around a broken license mechanism.

Feedback form on Web site is broken
Hi Sofa, The feedback form on versionsapp.com is broken, one gets an error when submitting. I wanted to send a feature request: I'd like the ability to search in the timeline. Often when I'm composing a commit message I want to make sure I use consistent language with what's gone before, so I do a search or two (in WebSVN at present) to see what I previously wrote. Being able to do this in Versions would mean a slicker workflow!

Column for modified date in working copy
Would it be possible to have a column in the Browse view to show the modification time of files in the working copy, please? I sometimes have a variety of changes on the go at the same time, not all of which I want to check in at once. Being able to see which files I have just been working on is a useful check to make sure I have selected the right ones for check-in. The choice of columns at the moment seems to lean towards browsing the repository rather than the working copy.

Re: quick compare like cornerstone?
+1 for using TextWrangler. Having an external diff tool means I can run it from within Xcode whilst I'm writing or Versions whilst I'm preparing to check-in, and get the same view working in the same way.

Slightly offtopic: moving repos to another server
Hi, I have moved my repositories from an old server to a new one, using svnadmin dump and svnadmin load. This worked fine. I then went into Versions and changed each Repository Bookmark location to reflect the new server's URL. Again no problems. However, the working copies that are under these Repo Bookmarks are still "connected" with the repo's on the old server, not the new ones — how do I update my existing working copies to talk to the new server? I guess I could delete my working copy folders in the finder and re- check them out from the new server. However, these are websites, and I will have to do the same on the "working copies" on the live servers. In that scenario I'd much rather not go deleting live files and rechecking out.

Connecting to local repository from Windows virtual machine
Is it possible to connect to a local repository created in Versions (on my Mac drive) from a Windows virtual machine (VMWare Fusion)? If so, how? I do my development from Visual Studio and would like to just connect using AnkhSVN/Tortoise. My goal is to have the master code repository on the actual Mac drive and just have "local" copies on the virtual drive (some project types in Visual Studio require local source code copies for debugging). --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Versions" group.

Re: Connecting to local repository from Windows virtual machine
Thanks for the help, Quinn! This got me a lot further. FYI, I had to change the "www" to "_www" in the chown Terminal command--apparently, that's the apache username. To get things working completely, I also had to add the following line to /etc/apache2/httpd.conf: LoadModule dav_svn_module /opt/subversion/lib/svn-apache/ mod_dav_svn.so Jeff On Apr 8, 12:37 pm, Quinn Taylor wrote: > IIRC, Windows VM partitions can't read/write on Mac partitions, so > file-based access is probably not the best solution.

Versions no longer launches...
... I had no previous problems running versions until I restarted my computer today (OSX 10.5.8). When I did I started receiving 'Oops, Versions hit a bumb in the road! Versions has envountered a problem. Please send us the anonymous crash report to help us fix the problem.' and I can no longer use the application. I tried reinstalling and received the same error when I ran from downloads folder. I moved it to the Application folder and was able to launch it once to update to latest version, but when it tried to relaunch after updating I receive the same error and can no longer use Versions. Any help/advice would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks! --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Versions" group.
