Fyi, change to BizBroadcast licensing: BizNet is in the process of changing their BizBroadcast licensing model. So if you have the need to obtain a newly-generated BizBroadcast license file for an existing BizNet client (e.g., new license purchase, transfer of license from one employee to another, moving BizBroadcast to different computer), you may be required to upgrade BizBroadcast to the latest version (currently 2.2.0) and no longer be able to simply obtain a newly-generated license file and import it. Therefore keep this in mind as the need arises because it may be a bit more involved than previously. I had contacted BizNet this week for a new BizBroadcast license file because a new employee was taking over a former employee's computer. I initially got some push-back from BizNet and that we needed to upgrade BizBroadcast, but was eventually provided with a new license file. It sounds like they don't yet know when this will be fully rolled out.

Brett - are you saying this is moving to a named user vs concurrent user model?

No, @WayneSchulz, BizBroadcast already uses a Named-User model (currently per user / per workstation). The way it has worked to-date is that each BizBroadcast license has its own license file, so for example a 3-user BizBroadcast license will have 3 separate license files, and one of those each need to be imported on the applicable workstations. But if for example one of those users gets a new computer or another employee takes over the computer/license, a newly-generated license file would need to first be obtained from BizNet because each license file can only be imported once - which can be a bit of a pain relative to the amount of time this type of stuff happens. So the way I understand it is that this will become more similar to how the BizInsight licensing works, and that we'll instead now have the ability to just deactivate/activate the BizBroadcast users/workstations, which is somewhat similar to how BizInsight works with the .users files - although BizInsight is not workstation-specific. I'm not sure if BizBroadcast will become only user-specific like BizInsight or if it'll still remain workstation-specific also.

Thanks for the update.
