To be fair, it's a lose-lose here. If we didn't implement strict and PITA-to-circumvent licensing, we would for sure have customers abusing it. As a small company, we cannot afford to patrol our customers constantly to make sure they are actually paying for software. We at least try our best to keep it out of their way. It's not my favorite thing to spend my dev time on, but I do understand it.
