Maybe I'm being a bit thick, BUT:

1. I sometimes use my Mac Dreamcard from some 9 years ago - in fact I 
have had it while 3 Macs
have "blown and burnt", and everytime reinstalled it with my Dreamcard 
License number....

2. Are RunRev now using a new licensing system (that I have missed) 
where it mysteriously stops
    a version of LC working after a certain time?

I, for one, do NOT believe #2.

I have a feeling that someone or other has got a bit mixed up, confusing 
the licence code for
a RR/LC distro (let's say 4.0) with a licence for further upgrades - the 
2 are not the same.

I can go on using the versions of RR/LC I own [ 2.2.1 (linux), 2.6.1 (DC 
Mac),
RevMedia (4 - all platforms), Studio (4 - all platforms) and so on] 
forever. What I cannot do is upgrade any of them, having "disappeared 
off RunRev's upgrade-screens" an awful long time ago.

If #2 IS true then I will start feeling very queasy indeed about ver 
buying an LC upgrade.

All i can hope for is when I do release my own software I can make sufficient income from it to be able to afford it. Well, it better, it's my retirement income. :)
