I tried to append this to the post it came from, but the post never finished loading.  If the server is this slow due to your ISP, it's time for a new ISP.

Did I miss the announcement of this?  I would've expected lots of cheering and slapping of backs, given all the complaints the license files used to generate.

You were AWOL for the beta.  No worry.

We're seeing a lot of downloads right now.  Sorry?

I was AWOL too, great...I think...Does the not able to back up thing mean that it can't be applied to more than one machine?

Congratulations On Your Newly Overloaded Connection!!! {wink}

No.  With the new licensing, you can restore to a new machine.  Limited to 5/year right now, but still under consideration.

slow connection hopefully has been solved.

Quick question about Licenses, if I buy one does that give me the right to use it on my networked machines at home or am I going to need to buy a license for each machine I want to have it spread on cause that would make it really expensive.

I would like to know the answer as well (to multiple computers). I was just about to purchase when I see people having problems with upgrading and licenses.

Just wondering why there has to be a limit of 5 restorations of a license per year? Why can't one restore anytime the need arises since the software is already paid for?

I had problems with this feature when using the RealOne. I used Ghost to make an image of my hard drive. The licensed RealOne was part of the image yet after restoring the image a few times I lost all the plus features of the RealOne. Buying a new license was the only way to get the features back.

The restoring of the Ghost image was done after testing various software. I do this often even with the various beta's of MJ. It gives me a truer picture of where a problem may lie with the software being tested. Sometime loading one beta over another creates problems. If loaded fresh I get a better idea of where the problem might be.

I'm with Don M. I am very nervous about my ability to restore MJ as I too regularly load and test beta software. As was pointed out restoring a ghost image may not always get me back to where I need to be and a system wipe is sometimes the only way to go. I have at times needed to totally clean the system oncea month.

There is no change in our policy.  We will allow 5 restorations per year.

Most people will not need to restore unless they change their OS, use it on another machine, or their drive crashes.  5/year of these events seems enough to us.  I'm sorry if it doesn't fit your needs.
