Loosening Shake Linux License Copy Protection.. ?

[user_deleted]

Rumor has made it my way that Apple has removed copy protection on Linux installs of Shake, allowing one purchase of the license to drive a number of machines. This comes from a guru-type with professional experience at Apple.. Can anyone validate this? Considering they are discontinuing Shake, it might make sense.. but I am curious if I am the first to hear this.

Shake is being discontinued, period. They will sell large companies the source for 50k, if necessary for the continuity of their pipeline, but that offer ended in June. What I need to know is if/when Linux licenses are being un-copy protected.

We buy 100+ licenses of shake every year, and this year they did not provide a license server. The software "just works" with no license server. This, believe it or not, caused us quite a lot of grief because we want to run Shake 2.5 on windows which does require a license server. But we don't have one. Bit of an arse really.
