First of all, I get why you want to have the best possible security for APP. But having said that, I do wonder if the online check isn’t going to cause more problems than its beneficial for you. Why?
– What is the chance of it being cracked by hackers? We’re talking about a niche market in which we’re, as photographers, a sub-group. Not much fun in putting effort into that for them I guess.
– You can make a much more secure situation then PixInsight. Is PixInsight being shared a lot among users? If that would be the case I guess we would see more action from their part.
– Many follow the same path Kees follows I think. I’m also in favor of it actually as updating my system bit me in the *** the previous session even. I could easily go back to a previous state, but it cost me time. So, I think a lot won’t have Internet on their imaging PC. Having then the need for an online check might put those people off.
– Me having the activation issues can be solved, but what about another weird system out there that suddenly, for whatever reason, fails to send out a correct identification..
Just some thoughts…
