So you just have to give your original key away together with the new one... if a user already is abusing such a system, he probably wouldn't mind doing that.

I have 3 peg's and i don't think i'll get any morphos licenses as long as the key is locked to just one computer, these machines is getting very old and might die tomorrow.

well, i got 7 pegasos machines, and 3 include morphos 2 license, but i bought only one license, the rest i bought with pegasos machine. morphos 1.4.5 satisfies me for most of my work, but it's a pity, that efika requires the morphos license, else the morphos isn't usable... and there is no 1.4.5 for efika... :( would be nice to get some sw bridge, to allow morphos 2 apps be executable under 1.4.5 without any fear...

You've got 7 Pegs??? Are you collecting them up to make sure AOS4.1 users can't get hold of them?
Do you manage to use them all? one for each day of the week I suppose lol

something like that ;) when someone is selling, i'm buying... and still no one asked me to sell one... ppl are just complaining, that i'm buying... :) say i'm a pegasos collector... each one works, one is at my work, one is at my friend (so is my efika), right now i have 4 pegs side by side here :) (i make my dreams come true)

bye, MarK.

I feel exactly the same way as SMF. the same day they announced 2.0 morphos became a dead os for me. I will never even let it cross my mind to pay 150 € and have it locked to one peg.

well, it's far better to pay 200 euros for whole pegasos machine including the mos 2 license...

bye, MarK.

If all Peg's went for as little as that I would probably own 7 myself

well, some were a bit more expensive, but some were also a bit cheaper :)

In which case you just have to contact us and we will allow you to transfer the license to another machine. This has already happened several times in the past. What's the problem?

[ Edited by jacadcaps on 2009/4/23 10:40 ]

well, i have asked, if it's possible to transfer the license to another name, as it's licensed to a board, it shouldn't be a problem, right? but ralph told me, that it doesn't matter to who is it registered... well, the morphos2 works, but i doesn't like very much to see, it's registered to someone else...

bye, MarK.

Indeed, from our pov it's irrelevant what name the key contains, but I can understand that you'd want to see yours there. Please ask Fab, he is generally less lazy ;)

If for example my PegII dies would I be allowed to transfer my key to a different type of machine (currently only Efika I suppose) or would it have to be another PegII?

Sorry if this is a silly question but I'm just checking

I really see no problem with that, provided you can give us solid proof that the old hw is dead. Once again: this stuff is always handled on a per-user basis.

Quote:

That seems fair enough. Otherwise I can imagine an epidemic of "dead" Pegs/Efikas when morphos is available for something more powerful/newer.
If my Peg or Efika died I would be quite happy to send the dead board to the team to prove its demise.

If I purchase Morphos for my Efika and in 20 years, my Efika dies. I find another Efika on eBay or something. Will someone still be available to transfer the license?
Thanks, John

@jacadcaps

Here is a scenario for you:

I have a Pegasos-2 and a Mac Mini G4.

I have a license for MorphOS 2.x for the Pegasos-2.

But when MorphOS 2.3 (or 3.0 or whatever it's numbered) comes out for the Mac Mini I want to only run MorphOS 2.x (or 3.0) on the Mac Mini, and revert the Pegasos-2 to MorphOS 1.4.x or AmigaOS 4.1.

I assume the MorphOS 2.x license for the Peg-2 will not be transferable to the Mac Mini? If not, is a cross license possible or some kind of transfer fee?

Quote:

I don't think MorphOS2.x will be supported by then some how
Hopefully development has continued and the team are upto version 6 or 8 or something much higher.

@jclausen

*Personally* I'd just release a keygen/keyless version if we decide not to care/provide any services anymore. It'd be just lame not to do that.

@HammerD:

Sorry, too early to speculate anything about the Mini. You'll know everything once we're close to an actual release.

I've got my license straight after i bought my Peg. I was saving for my Peg and i was saving for couple of weeks for MOS. I don't get all the moaning about the price. This is a piece of a great software guys.

If you can afford to get an Efika or Pegasos which are quite expensive stuff at the moment you have to think about other expenses like operation system. I think people are just getting lazy when almost all the stuff is available on torrents or rapidshare...

Edit: If you gonna spend 150e on MorphOS (or not) almost 99% software is for free if you've noticed that..

If I buy the current MorphOS license but then use my time machine to goto the year 2666 will the future MorphOS Team still support this 2009 license?

@discreetfx

Do you expect the future MorphOS Team to go through ancient forum postings to answer your question? Why don't you ask them and let us know should you decide to return.

Is MorphOs PowerUp server is up ?
I always get "registration failed..."

Well after reading the reply's to this post

I have decided to buy a copy of MorphOs for the Efika
(hope i don't regret this as i was going to retire the efika to been a server running linux when MorphOs released version for MacMini, but wot the hell)

Don't get to excited as this won't be until the 25th of June, as i have a few things i want to buy first

1st'ly : Having seen HammerD's 23" SamSung LCD specs, i need 2 of these myself
2nd'ly : There's the BeagleBoard, (i have been after for a while now, and i will need something for linux full time)
3rd'ly : A good few nights out, to get over the ordeal of spending this much money...


Thanks all for helping me make my mind up
TrevorD or TDick wot'ever he prefers, seemed to make the most sense
