Would you *PLEASE* stop it and get off your horse. At this point, if you have further problems with this, maybe take it up with/in email with GT directly.
Your gripes have been noted, and I let your comments pass several times, but, for the record, *I* did *NOT* mis understand anything, I was making a point. You used the term "unlimited" in a manner that was *NOT* the intent of the license. The only "unlimited" rights you were granted were to updates, each of which may have further restrictions. You also had unlimited rights to continue using the program, without upgrade, for as long as you wanted. So, basically, you, the original license holder or legitimately transferred owner, are/were entitled to unlimited upgrades -- if you wanted them. Not free, unrestricted, or duplicate use of the program code. The terms of the license had to be adhered to. The plugin system has *always* checked for a valid code. It's reasonable for the download system to check for a valid download path.
You are upset for some reason, and that is fine. You've expressed it, but others have the right to express their disagreement with you, your feelings, and your manner of expression. If you did not want open comments on your flame, you should have posted it privately.
As noted, your gripes have been noted. GT has addressed this -- several times, and just posted a major clarification, which basically said what everyone with a clear head expected it to.
I, personally, feel you are totally off base, and that your comments that this system would cause you stop using GT products are just that, YOUR COMMENTS. *I* and a whole lot of others feel very differently (and I'm considered paranoid), and I posted not only my feeling to that end, but a few notes as to WHY I feel it would be wrong or silly, or in your case, down right stupid, to switch from GT products to some other platform. But I also noted, it was your choice. If you are not violating the license, then this change will only make your life easier, not harder. People reading this thread in "pre sales" have a right to hear EVERY opinion on the product, not just yours.
So please, I *HATE* when someone takes swipes at me in the 3rd person. You want to criticize or comment on something I said, do it TO ME directly. Don't mis-represent what I said, or claim I intended to say, to a third party. Don't assume I didn't understand something, until you ask me.
I understand perfectly, (GT's clarification post proved it) and I'll stop there.
I do understand GT's motivations, the question is whether their needs will supercede mine and subsequently whether they are a company that I'll continue to do business with.
And, pray tell, how does validing the install path "supercede" your needs? Especially in a way that would prevent you from dealing with GT because of it?
