The new license scheme is wrong and will lose sales. Please put back the why
it was with the dongle. If you buy 3 you can open up pos on any machine as
long as you don't exceade 3.

All of us that have "witched" about this - go vote. Maybe, just maybe,
someone at MS might see the light and work to change this.

I'm pretty sure user input/voting may be what helped get the dongle
eliminated in the first place. hmmm

I don't think they want the dongle back, just the concurrent licensing and
evaluation period that went with it.

I guess I do not understand why we cannot have the best of both worlds.

You would activate every license through Manager then every time a station
opens POS it just checks the concurrent count and does either allow /deny
based on your number of concurrent licenses.

It seems that the "activation" scheme may just be filtering down from
Windows into every other product group.
