Yeah it’s unfortunate. I’ve bought some applications before but like I said, I have them and a license key and they should run forever. I like different machines or OSs for different tasks. This very particular thing I’m interested in is to troubleshoot some (I think) aberrant wake-from-sleep behavior on a mac laptop so unfortunately I don’t think that’s going to work out.
Though I suppose I could throw Linux on it and see if it still has the same sleep/wake issues, to isolate whether it’s a software/OS thing or a hardware issue.
