    It's our concern as well. Any project we develop, I must assure it can be supported and upgraded for the future. Full source code has been a requirement regardless how big or small the supplier is. Any apps we develop which takes tens to hundreds of hours, be able to service support it for 5-10 years is an absolutely must. It's not easy to make money, and would be died before the project could be started if there is no future support assurance. A small company like ours with only one developer, we makes decisions based on "future availability for support", I believe most if not all large serious company would have the similar policy. Or, they will use Microsoft or Google or Apple knowing these guys will be there and support their product forever. Those who makes a living on pirating and stealing will never be the thread anyway, because they and their business will never last. (If they do become successful, they will loose their shirt when been sued and shutdown). UniGUI team should make this a serious consideration factor. Assurance of future service support (with open source otherwise use Microsoft) is a major decision factor for any their purchase. To make UniGUI selling more and be successful, it need to focus on those businesses that want to pay with little concerns for futures. Those thefts are losers and will never pay anyway so does not really harm the suppliers like UniGUI (the so called Imaginary revenue lost, where the revenue never exists from those criminals). Delphi is disadvantaged already, not because Pascal is no good, rather because Borland/CodeGear lost is future assurance, so those paying developers goes to Microsoft for their future assurance. Under the already limited Delphi developer base and growing competition from large rivals for WebApplication platforms, UniGUI's survive and success does not rely on how to eliminate those bad guys making short term living on pirating, rather on giving assurance of businesses that make living on continuous selling and servicing their own apps. I've been watching UniGUI for a few years. As soon as it moved out of beta, I bought it with source code. We never buy or consider "beta". Unfortunately, the source code is for components only. I cannot set or customize where the javascript preload path (at the client side, on the phone file system). And when I trying debug error inside unigui application or servermodule, I hit the wall. When that happens, our ability to maintain and support our own application becomes very limited. At least some the source code should also be included, like the application and server module, which are frequently referenced. Even some security and software production module is restricted without source, that would be fine.
  2. Hum... I bought Pro complete a month ago, having the same problem. I have a few laptops, PCs, MacBooks, iMacs, at work and at home, and do use VM for experiments and disposals once done. Lots of people have multiple PCs/Laptops and tablets. No one shares PCs/laptops or phones with their username/password, not even with their family or kids. What I'd recommend the best is that, the license validate by windows logon username (with admin rights), not by machine. Thanks,
