I have used Pangolin parts for years and I have to vent. These license hurdles are a real drag. I had a show that we had planed for today, Christmas, and the FB3 that was associated with my Beyond license went pop. I have three other FB3s, but they are not associated with an active license. I probably could have gone through the hoops and activated them, but with all four projectors used together I never took that step. But, why do I need to take any steps. I purchased two of these through Pangolin directly and one as a used product from a PL member a couple of years ago. These are legitimate pieces of kit and now I'm pretty screwed on Christmas night. Why not make the license automatically active when an FB3 is plugged in.
Another gripe is these "forced updates. Some updates have provided useful features while others caused glitches for a time until they were debugged. So, I have resisted updating every time they were released. But, I have found that if I didn't, then eventually the old release would stop working unless I reset the comp's clock to make the old release run again.
This is a real pain. I assume I will be able to fix this once the weekend is over, but the show will not go on.
