Completely incorrect information here. There is no way the program will switch from an activated state to a non active state mid session. The OP ignored the warning on opening the app and continued to work and saved much later.

Wow, good catch, I didn't think of that. This particular user has done things like that right in front of me. That is probably what happened.

EDIT - I went back over the whole thread and have to credit @Amberwolf for making that call immediately after I posted!

isn't it a ballache to have to keep activating a software ?

This is exactly the point that many don't understand! Especially re-activation is a PITA! I've had a lot of software turning suddenly to non-authorized, even if I did not install any new hardware!

I am a fan of the old authorization way (like Sonar X3) as some probably have understood. 😆 IMHO it's the only fair way to the customer.

But nowadays there are many companies that try to enslave their users using some kind of obscure, murky online authorization and installation to manipulate them, to snatch their money and to force them updates. This is even true for so called "free" software. Just look how many don't clarify on their sites how authorization is managed, nor what is going on behind the scene! This is also the reason why I prefer iLok over online authorization, it is definitely more transparent and clearly only used for authorization!

He didn't like your post, he gave it a thumb down. If you click on the icon it will reveal who gave the likes and who gave the thumb down.

Ah, thanks for pointing that out.  I had the icons themselves hidden by the browser (so I can enlarge all the text to be able to read it without making all the graphics gigantic too), so I didn't see them; just the numbers of reactions).   Sorry about that. :(
