Mike, I apologize in this thread if I have offended you. Your input and answers are apreciated, when they are not demanding. I guess it is your written word that is the problem, not your knowledge.
As to my comment that you are out of the norm, that was based on one fact you stated, and have been pushing for:
You want THREE systems to run the same Hoster.
The wonderful, factual example you gave above very clearly requires Hoster to be on TWO systems, not THREE. That is the difference in our postions.
By listening to your and others requests in this thread, on February 18, 2004 in 15 seconds our web master changed the number of permissions to install Hoster from 1 to 2. I did this after much heart searching, discussions with our programmers, MTU sales and MTU support. It was NOT an easy decision. It also makes it far more difficult for MTU to now move in a direction where we have been "The Visionary" for 5 years.
However, to add more complexity to our Installation program to allow TRANSFERRING Hoster from one computer to another (assuming the one is running!
), is FAR more complex, would take a LOOOOONE time to beta test and get the bugs out, and the Lord only knows how we have "abused" you and our other beta testers on working out the bugs in our security.
Thus, the simple way out was to allow everyone to install Hoster on 2 computers.
Mike, I hope you will not abandon posting in the Forums. My point was simply running Hoster on 2 versus 3 computers.
