Totally agree with steveps3...i've bought octane license and stopped using it because of those changes.
Losing customers it's not a good point at all, imho.

Reading this thread proofs my scepsis about your licensing system. Must be absolute horror: there is some deadline from your client and all you got is an unreliable software which might fail due to selfmade problems.
What exactly are you preparing for the future?
I am a little afraid that i didn´t bought some software and in near future youl´ll change you licensing system and i got to pay for each minute it runs..., or maybe sell it to the big bad uncle?
Once again i got to emphasize that dongles work very well, so please tell us the true reason for your licensing way,
which is obviously (reading all those posts) not customerfriendly. Or do you really think it is?
You know the best that iam not the onlyone who dislikes this licensing, btw you´ll never get to know how many peolple wont buy octane due to your licensing. I know a lot of friends who would not buy octane due to the restrictive license. (Also i am not shure if your licensing method would even completly corralate with the germans law)
Just count the time you spend for your Licensing instead of render-related code. There are also a lot commercial licensing-modules to buy, you dont have to build from scratch for yourself.
I am the last one who would use ilegal software, but i thing that nothing is unhackable, not a dongle nor your "live account sys" -its just a matter of time. As a "licensed customer" i would even prefer to pay more for your software, just for a litle bit more independency..
I dont want to end like tied up cow at a farm using your software.
Best regards dave
