I'm using this in a production environment and losing 30 minutes as I have to wait to reactivate from one PC to the next is wasting time. Also, I've heard people say that time is money. So, the 30 minute wait is costing me money. Stop that.

Here's what I did with my wasted time. Thanks, guys! ;)

Have the same issue ... I quite often change from Desktop to Laptop. For holidays etc it is fine ... the 30 Minutes go down on travel time etc, but if on summer I'd like to go to the laptop for the balcony, it is fairly annoying. To be honest, id even make the basic package include 2 licenses ... I guess many people also have a laptop they use, so you don't have this switching around at all.

Hi Guys,

The first re-activation should be available almost instantly (if you de-activate via the software and not the website).
You should only get this timeout when trying to move the license again within an hour. (ie: first move is free but you can't do this again within the hour, effectively this means only one move per hour).

Thanks
Chris.

And if you are changing that often then you really should have 2 licences.
