Hi all,

First, thanks for giving your feedback to Harris. It made a significant impact.

Starting with IDL 8.6.1 (hopefully mid-April), we will make the following changes:

* An IDL user will be able to run an unlimited number of sessions on their machine. In IDL 8.6 the IDL license was tied to the MAC address + install location + process ID, so each process ID would consume a separate license. In IDL 8.6.1, the IDL license will be tied to the MAC address + install location + user id, so multiple process ID’s will consume just a single IDL license.
* This change will apply to the IDL command line, the IDL Workbench, and the Python bridge, on all platforms.
* This change will not apply to ENVI or other Harris Geospatial products.
* There is no policy change for “flexible single user” (other than allowing multiple IDL sessions on one machine). If you need to use IDL on two machines, you should contact Tech Support or your sales rep for options.
* IDL Virtual Machine will remain unchanged from pre-IDL 8.6 – we just need to tie up some lose ends and release it.

We are shooting for an April release.

Thanks for supporting IDL over the years.

-Chris
IDL Project Lead
