Extending the Reward Program

Wow, how many computers do you have, mate??? LOL....

Yeah, I think it's a great idea because I'm always going between computers.....so it would be nice to have it on multiple machines.....and oh, I was thinking that it would be nice to have on my laptop when flying.....

I also like the idea of a reward level giving authors editorial power over their filter's comment strings and the proposed filter galleries.....

That's the problem with seat/machine bound licenses: They don't move with the artist, unless he installs them on a laptop.

I'd say: Give out an additional license for every 5 rewards after the 5th. This way it would be:

5th Reward: 1st License with life-long upgrades.
10th Reward: 2nd License with life-long upgrades.
15th Reward: 3rd License with life-long upgrades.
etc...

The benefit of this policy would be that it keeps established authors in the game, rewarding them for their continued efforts. Note that each additional full lifetime license would need as many rewards as the first [which has the nice side-benefit that it would discourage the creation of sock-puppet accounts to 'game' the system].

+2 Makes sense.....just extends multiples of the existing lifetime upgrades reward.....

Exactly!!! .....which also adds incentive to submit their best works and not hold back anything.....

Redcap, good idea.....something along the lines of what AutoDesk does with AutoCad.....which seems to be a very secure method of doing it.....

Absolutely yes. I've been thinking about it from day one. I was just unable to come up with a good reward schedule.

I have this on my list, but no specifics yet.

It's possible that we change this to a floating license similar to that of Modo, with the same approach regarding the Mac/PC platform .

Where did you ask, on the forums or via the contact form? We can't guarantee that we reply all questions here on the forums, so such questions are best directed to the contact form.

My appologies If I came accross wrong in no way was I trying to imply you guys were not vigilant To be quite frank I just hadnt considered that option.

I will of course submit an inquiry tommorow then since I dont want to in any way violate your license

http://www.filterforge.com/forum/read...essage9082 is the post I was reffereing to
I assume from this part
[QUOTE]copy of the specified major version of the Product by one user account in the operating system [QUOTE]

from that section since its not stating per processor or per machine but in fact per operating system --that in fact technically Im not in violation but as I posted there
letter of law
and
spirit of law
dont allways coincide
I want to make sure Im living up to the spirit of your license as well
that was my main concern
FF and its team have been good to all of us and I in now way want to take advantage of them
legally or otherwise

I was recently surprised though when I was sick I had my linux box on in the other room and so connected using my nxserver and fired up the VM and ran it through nxserver --it was amazeingly still agile with nxserver

I assumed that the heavy render process and the fact that it was in a vm would cause the screen refresh to lag horribly on my nxclient surprise surprise it worked great

Hey Rawn, I think that's exactly the incentive FF wants to promote I think if you keep going the way that you are, you will get everything that you want
