Bob,
my license works as advertised by David, too. No problems at all. And ITTVIS
better not change this. Your license sounds terribly painful. What if you
switch computers? Between Laptop, Lab PC, and Desktop PC one is replaced
about every year. It seems unfair that the paying customer base has to live
with these issues, while others go out on the internet searching for a
hassle-free solution to license IDL. But we all know: Life's unfair. :-)
