We fixed the backup server the other night, it came online correctly but the script that automatically set it up didn't run the license server correctly. I fixed it as of now.
The main server is having a problem with its power supply, the replacement hasn't come in yet. Believe me when I say this whole thing is more upsetting to me than it is for any of you!

Thanks!

Working in the IT industry myself, I can appreciate that these things happen, and certainly I worked my around it, as I'm sure did everyone else who really wanted to play tonight (for myself, I reverted to my KeyClone setup).
Believe me when I say this, as a new user, who'se now had 2 outages in 6 days of subscribed time, I am fully cognizant of the fact that's it's just my bad luck/timing is all, and I accept the testimony of others who say that this is a very unusual occurance.
I am certainly impressed with the scope and depth of the product as well as your prompt support and replies whenever I've had a question (as a product this configurable was bound to ellicit).
I would like though, if asking the question isn't out of line, to know whether some sort of "grace period" can be built into the softwares license check as it seems to me to be the most effective way to counter this sort of outage.
Is there no way to code a grace period into the license check such that hackers and other free-loading types couldn't use that code to keep resetting the grace period?
Alternately, would an extended period of pre-paid subscription suffice to gain access to a check-disabled version of the program?
While I'm in no danger of knocking Bill Gates off the Rich List, I am in a situation like I suspect most multiboxers are, where time to play is much more of a limiting factor than is the money devoted to doing so, thus I would be willing to pay a 2 or even 3 year sub up front, if it avoided the softwares dependence on a connection to a remote server.

Thx Lax for the fast Fixing
Needless to say I was quite upset at the time but it was probably the whiskey talking
Overall I'm simply amazed by it and the ease of use. Haven't really read up on it much (which I really should) but with the wizard it makes it a cakewalk setting things up.
