I absolutely agree. Bias has always been the most paranoid, draconian, unrelenting company regarding authorizations that I have ever encountered. I have been using their products for many years and have spent a small fortune in upgrades (more than a thousand dollars.) There is no practical reason I shouldn't be allowed to move between machines as long as only one version is being run at a time.

Draconian Authorization Continues.... - Jason Davies--2008

Hello,

I appreciate the comment but am confused by it. The authorization system allows for two systems to be authorized at a time. In the event of a hard disk problem, the initially authorized system may be re-authorized without decrementing an authorization count as many times as needed. If a new system must be authorized, the original system may be de-authorized so the authorization count is not affected. De-authorizing an originally authorized system and re-authorizing a new previously unauthorized system may be accomplished up to three times without contacting BIAS. We have indeed had a few customers contact us who have needed to de-authorize more than three times and have always responded by simply resetting the de-authorization count.

Should you have any concerns regarding this, please contact support@bias-inc.com

Thank you for your support.
