First off, let me say that I love Modul8. Garagecube, I think you guys are fantastic and I think that 2.6 is a fantastic improvement over the already excellent previous version. Really, I have very, very few complaints about Modul8. That said, over the past couple of weeks, I've just about had several coronaries thanks to the damn authorization system in Modul8.
I don't know if it's just been the betas or the fact that I've been moving back and forth between my MBP and a Powermac G5 (switching video cards in that unit, to boot) but I've had nothing but trouble with the authorization system. It seems that the deauthorization doesn't work at all. Unless I'm missing something, when I deauthorize one machine, I ought to be able to authorize another machine that's sitting right next to it. That exact scenario plain doesn't work. In fact, I had to send a panic filled email to support to have my authorizations manually reset. Luckily, the response was quick otherwise I would have been up S*** creek without a paddle. I was similarly unable to authorize my MBP last night right before a show. Luckily, my brother had a still authorized copy of 2.5 on his machine which got us through the night (although sans the cool 2.6 features which I really could have used).
Enough griping though, here's the thing, Garagecube, I know you guys realize that Modul8 is a performance software. What you may not realize (given that you can have all of the authorizations you need) is that the LAST thing any of us needs before a show is to be locked out of our software. Granted, I SHOULD have fired up Modul8 before I went to the gig and made sure that everything was copacetic, but I'm sure we've all been in a situation where something simple bites you in the ass. That's especially true when wireless is hard/impossible to come by as it often is in my particular line of work.
I understand that you want to cut off piracy, but if I could ask just one thing it would be to cut back on the restrictive authorization scheme. It's one of those things where if you use the same machine for a long time, it'll probably never be an issue. But, if you're constantly upgrading and changing machines like I am, this can be a huge hassle. Personally, I think the two machine limit is a little bit restrictive in the first place (just my opinion) but I can certainly say that this wouldn't bite me nearly as often if it were a bit higher. Maybe you'll be inclined to take a cue out of Apple's playbook--after all weren't iTunes limited to two computers initially? Followed by an increased limit of five, then none at all...
