Hey Felix, regardless of the numbers of licenses bring up your issues with them. Even back when we were on one license stuff got implemented. I know I sound like a broken record when saying that SideFX support is not something most of us had experienced before with a software vendor of that size.
Regarding what Jordi said, H16 does have improvements with viewport handling, although they may not be what you'd like them to be :) Have fun and hang in there.
