Just wanted to ask when the license utility is expected to be out. End of May? June?

Hi rrockafellow,

I am working on getting a availability date for you. As soon as I get it I'll post it.

Cheers, Andrew

Hi Andrew

Any news yet? I just got a new license and I noticed the expiree date is 31st May 2005! Originaly licenses were going to expire in August 2003 as they wouldn't be needed after this time.

Hi Nickb,

An announcement was just sent out to Licensed developers regarding this. The relevant copy is:

"...For a number of reasons, we have determined to incorporate the publishing utility into a comprehensive authoring tool that we expect to release around the end of this year. Accordingly, we will continue using our broadcast key system to ensure watermark-free publication of content at least through the end of this year (2004).

While we continue development of the comprehensive authoring tool, ...keys will have a May 31, 2005 expiration date.

Once our comprehensive authoring tool is released, you will be able to publish (digitally sign) any content you have created during the term of your license...."

Cheers, Andrew
