And MS Office works the same way. I used to be able to run two instantiations of Word on two machines in my house at the same time. Now I can't.... I have a feeling that one of those automatic updates installed new protection code in the past year or so.

I recall, years ago, when protection schemes were quite common on PCs and Borland came out with their "new" policy - "You can install Borland on as many machines as you like, but you can only run the app on one at a time."

That was considered quite fair back then, especially when the software license spells that out. I guess Omni has the same policy, it seems fair to me!
