New licensing system for version 4

Posted on 13:30 by Unknown
The number of editions of Process Lasso v3 got way out of hand. Not only did this slow down build time on my slow computer, so it took an hour to do a very release -- it also made things confusing for end users. I've now simplified my licensing by allowing the Free edition to be converted into the Pro edition via an online activation. Yes, I know this will open it up to crackers, but crackers will always find a way anyway.

So, now the Free edition can be activated. This also makes updates easier, as you don't have to login to our Support area to get the Pro build. Please allow a little time to discover and fix any remaining quirks in this rather large switch of licensing systems. I've planned this for some time, and finally 'pulled the trigger' here in v3.99.7 alpha (coming soon).

Please also note that in a few builds the activation system itself will change. This means you'll have to re-activate the product. I say this to give you a heads up. This change is necessary to facilitate a activation system that is more robust than the previous. It is something typically done on a major new version like this.

The best news, no timed nag screen - no matter how long installed. I am experimenting with removing that. If users still support me, then it'll be gone for good.
