We've got some BIG news...

[jeh]

Not happy about the $200 selling of a "feature" but not sure I need it for the stuff I do, i can spare the few mins to manually change the depth and off-set.  Maybe I'll get it down the road when I'm batching out holiday gifts LOL...

Software is not free to develop nor maintain and one way to cover this is with a one-time fee, which is far better than a monthly fee. The alternative might have been a base model and then a plus model with a few more features at a slightly higher price. Hopefully there will be more offering (free or paid) in the future.

This.
Software licensing for additional capabilities is absolutely fine as long as the license is tied to the device.

In this sense, the "license can be moved to other device" is actuall bad -> it means Shaper has the technical means to revoke your licenses at will. That is no good once **** hits ... you insert your own.
