Default Re: X-Cart v4 licensing and it's reusing in new businesses

No more news on this?

Recently I discovered something which I am not sure it is the right thing to do...

Let's say that I have XC Gold license store. Then I decide to purchase XC Gold+ upgrade. But then things fall apart or for whatever reason I don't use the Gold+ upgrade, no issues, no refund, I want to keep the Gold+.... QT sets my license to Gold+. If I move my store, or change domain or anything that requires to register the store again - the registration will fail - and I have to look at the ugly licensing message in admin even though the software was paid for. Reason - license is set at Gold+ but I am using Gold. According to QT there are 2 ways to fix this - either upgrade the store which may not be very suitable or could be very expensive OR tell them to change the license to Gold in which case I will lose the software for which I paid....

Am I right to think that this is not the way to do licensing?

If I purchased both products shouldn't I be allowed to use whichever I want at any time?

I have Win 7 Pro installed but also an upgrade to Win 8 sitting in a box waiting for better times...; I can install the upgrade and register it but I can also go bak to Win 7 if I want to and registered it as well - and I don;t have to give up the upgrade to Win 8 - I paid for it, I have the right to use it or not....

So any comments on this?
