I understand your need for checking multiple licenses being used on the same subnetwork … but honestly, this is the SINGLE most annoying thing I’ve ever come across with MyEclipse.
I usually use it on just my laptop, but today, since I need to test something on Windows, I needed to have it both running on my OSX Powerbook, and on Windows …. but I can’t do that with your licensing … even though I’m using both machines at the same time for the same development and I’ve paid for the license 2 years now.
Is there any way for honest developers to not be shackled like this?

How is the license manager suppose to know you are the same honest developer, and simply not two developers in the same company sharing the license? Or better yet, a server hosting up multiple copies of it? We have tried to strick a balance between usability and protecting our work, in the few corner cases like this we would encourage you to please email subscriptions@genuitec.com with a description of your problem and they will help get you setup so you can work in your environment.
I don’t feel like figuring it out with your subscription department … I’ll just work around it … it’s just bloody annoying the occasional day I need to do it.
Thanks for your response.
I understand the desire to vent every once in a while, but next time its 2am and you are debugging something and this pops up again, you are going to make yourself go crazy in a fit of rage… I think for your psychological health its better if you just drop them an email (just copy-paste your original message) and they’ll hook you up with a multi-homed key that you can use on both machines.
Of course its up to you, I just don’t want you cursing our names while trying to get work done before a big demo on a Sunday night or something 😉
That’s great if they do support multi-homed keys like that … if they do that kind of a thing then I will send an email over to them.
Thanks … and it sounds like you understand what it’s like at times 🙂
The fact that MyEclipseIDE Plugin is so critical and important to everything I do (and good at what it does) certainly impacts it …

It would be nice to allow multiple instances of MyEclipse IDE on the same local machine. I usually have a different project using the -data option in eclipse but when I open up two application instances of eclipse on the same machine i get that annoying popup. 🙂
nfets,
Please email subscriptions@genuitec.com with a description of your dev environment, I’m sure they can take care of you.Hi Everyone,
I was just issued a second regitration key so now I’m able to work with 2 separate instance of MyEclipseIDE. It’s not that I’m not grateful for this but I expected this implementation to be a bit more intelligent. I think what I’m doing are in the confines of most j2ee developers out there.
What I was expecting is a registration key that will allow me to open ANY 2 instances of MyEclipseIDE….not 2 separate reg keys. This is really annoying in a user’s experience because we are always developing new projects or porting to a newer version of an app.
Suppose I have the following workspace:
Workspace A (Key #1)
Workspace B (Key #2)If there is a need to create Workspace C or D then I would need to use one of the key. Let’s say I have:
Workspace C (Key #2)
So I’m working with Workspace A and B at the same time and the 2 license keys provided to me are fitting the criteria.
What I find most annoying is if there is a need to open Workspace B. In this scenario the license key for B is the same as C and in order for me to open both I would need to change one of the key assigned.
Is this a limitation of Eclipse, MyEclipseIDE or was this just a short workaround?
What I was really looking for is a single license key that will allow me to open any 2 instance of workspaces.
nfets,
While we understand you were running into some frustration with the license manager, please keep in mind that people we need to issue multihomed keys to account for < 1% of our user base. Because of this the license management we have in place now is the best for our majority of users; for the few that really do need multihomed keys (like yourself) we will take care of them on a case-by-case basis OR the dev team can get a single group license that everyone can use.I hope you and your team are not fighting with the license manager anymore and are able to work smoothly.
