Which of course is not hard, but still a huge interruption to my flow. But there's maybe a bug (?) that makes this even worse: the license key is auto-filled-in only the first time you have to do it, but then the subsequent time, you are forced to re-enter it again (the autofill is gone and it's blank). (1) It's super inconvenient to have to re-authenticate, and I really shouldn't have to. But IP address? Not the right thing to key off of. The better way if you really want to do this is to check the primary MacAddr or something similar. IP address may have been a good way to identify a single machine back in the '90s, but today it's simply not useful for this feature, and doesn't really help (only hurts) security and usability. Because of this, and sometimes rebooting in between, and using a VPN, my IP address changes regularly. Since I'm doing some testing right now, though, I happen to re-start many times a day (3-8 times a day, maybe more). Whenever I change IP addresses on my desktop (which I do all the time because I use a VPN), since XP11.10 beta (and maybe before, but I just started using the VPN so I'm not sure if it always happened or not) I am forced back into a full re-authorization of my copy of X-Plane (of course, only when I re-start X-Plane). Platform: 64-bit Windows 10, X-Plane 11.10 beta (currently b4), digital license key (i.e., code, not DVD or device auth) this will be much more terse and less flowery than my last attempt: Ugh, I just wrote a nice, full detailed report, but the web app to enter the report is broken and a misplaced backspace does a page-back adn then page-forward deletes all the text I just entered.
