    That's because he is trying to protect his property from being passed around for free. Would you work tirelessly day and night and not get paid for it?

    So as a developer, I get a new machine every 9 months or so. This is no longer a problem?

    Im sure that you could easily prove its the same truck your flashing. Especially since it runs on windows, we all know "those" laptops only last a couple years.

    You're misinformed. You can't do anything like you suggest with the other mechanism.

    Depends on OVtune's definition of excessive.

    I read somewhere on his website that I think you can change computers 3 times, after that expect an additional charge

    So that Gaurdant and pcmflash link in the first post in the dongle instructions is different from the previous drivers? @OVTune

    I had someone switch the software 6 times in the period of 1 month, after that I changed my rules on what is considered excessive and time wasting for us.
    I am a developer and get new computers every year but that doesn't mean I need my flashing software transferred 6 times in 1 month.

    I'm very easy to work with, just don't make it harder for me for no reason.

    I think this software licensing thing is getting blown severely out of proportion. It’s no different than 98% of any other licensed software out there.

    If it’s that big of a deal to you, buy the handheld when it’s available and it’s a non issue. Then you can turn your truck again in 10 years if that makes you happy.

    Appropriate. Im sure even if someone changes devices all the time they could keep one device, or purchase one that they could keep.

    If we're already registered and using the current 1.05 with p5flash there won't be a need to register anything when flash manager is live though right?

    I don’t think so but many people here like to assume the worst of everything and reading comprehension in this thread leaves a lot to be desired.

    Nope, download flash manager, follow update instructions, and make sure to use the NEW p5flash that comes with the flash manager.
