i think, for those of us, who would like to transfer licences from one box
to other (i mean more than 1-2 or 10), we would have to buy a hardware
base lock (of course, i don't care about, if the lock would contact
digium once a day or so) like usb, or a dumb pci ethernet card, so
if we need we can move it to other. what do you think?
(sadly there is no a 7day demo licence or anything to test)
