Is it possible to change the way you protect your software for the Mac versions ?
For PC versions you check against MAC address from network card.
But most new Mac machines have 2 ways to connect to the outside world.
1) ethernet - cable
2) wireless.
I think most users have at home option 1 - but if you take your Mac to another place (for demonstrations about how good VA will work on a Mac :) )
most of the times you'll find there is only a wireless connection.
No problem for a Mac but as far as I can see a big problem for VA.
Try to lock VA for Mac to the unique serial number every (new) Mac computer has inbuild.
I think it will solve a lot of problems for VA users
(Just a simple question from a customers who wants to buy the INTEL version as soon as it will be released)

You've made some assumptions that are incorrect. Our experience with the first round of testers, along with running on our own machines shows that the scenario you describe just doesn't seem to happen in real life.
For example the Mac I took to the Wakefield show is normally conected via wireless in the office. There was no wireless network present for it to use. But non the less it was still perfectly happy and fired up VRPC at ( in the morning and ran it all day.
Finally - please note this is a support forum for users of the software - not a suggestions/complaints box. If you have a suggestion then please e-mail me directly.
