FlexLM works for me. The only time you have to go back to the vendor is if you actually change CPUs. It's a UNIX LM system that has worked well for YEARS. To bad there was such a hue and cry when Intel wanted to put IDs in CPUs a couple of years ago, it could have just as easily worked for PCs too. But as I said earlier, there is something similar out now for PCs. It's from Rainbow Technologies and might be closer to the answere we all are looking for. jon
