Features look great but I'm a bit concerned about their new licensing policy. I am a hobbyist user and use Vue-I on my laptop and desktop at home only.

Their current scheme is fair, as I'm only ever using the product on one machine at a time. But, if I have to pay another $100 and set up some sort of 'license server' on my home network just for Vue, then I'll probably look to another package. Then again, I can wait and see. I hate using Lightwave because of their stupid dongle, which is prone to getting lost between laptop and desktop. I'm not sure this license server thing is any better.

And speaking of license intalls, I certainly hope they won't make you install your 5 Esprit product, then intall your 5 Vue-I upgrade (which I currently have to do) then install the ver 6 Vue-I upgrade.

I'll keep my fingers crossed and hope they don't brand all of us as PIRATES and force us paying customers to jump through too many hoops to just use their new product. I hate it when a company does that!
