I understand why this is important. I’ll try my best to see what we can do :) Thank you for the great feedback.
It would be great to patch the v2 apps into an "offline mode." Then you don't have to worry about maintaining the license servers.
+1, I'm still on v1, partially because it required no account, no tether to the developer to activate. Just a straightforward purchase. I give them money, they give me an activation key, and our relationship is OVER. Why companies keep insisting on complicating this with accounts and online activations, I'll never know and never agree to.
Is there any hope to enable activating v2 offline? That way I can still install and use it when you eventually shutdown the activation server.
