Extra Product Keys for V2.0

Any options with what to do with extra product keys? Since MS has changed
their Licensing Format I have several extra Certificates that I have no use
for. I guess I can change my support when it comes up for renewal in 18
months. sales@windovers.com

How many POS stations are you running? The product keys are for every Store
Ops POS application you have that will be used on one of your POS terminals.
Example you have 3 lanes or registers, you will then need 3 product keys for
each POS.
If you only have one lane it sounds like you may have gotten a bigger
license than was neccessary

I'm guessing you bought before the per-seat change. RMS was originally
licensed in "blocks" until around 2 years ago.

As far as money goes it's a one way street. You can sell the keys to someone
but they can't get support. (don't ya just love it?) I ran into this when I
wanted to split my 9 seat license for a 4 + 5 dongle but MS refused to do it.

Eventually MS will get the pay-per-use scheme implemented...

Yes, I had to buy blocks of licenses and now that I do not need a key to run
store operations manager I have extra. Seems like a strange setup.
