Re: Re[14]: 1 licence for two different versions

["Tim Leydecker" <BauerOink(at)gmx.de>]

Don?t want to start a flamewar or get insulting to anyone.

Actually, I learned quite a bit from that thread.

Licensing (the SPM host, running concurring versions all that)
can be a bitchy thing and it?s shown that people here a willing
to help out - even if it?s distracting from their work.

To sum it up - it probably cost a quarter million bucks in
manhours (reading the posts, answering, maybe deleting them).

In the longrun it *could* save money and longhours thought.

Would be a shame if you?d unscubscribe but you?re free to do so...

Cheers

tim
