PIK80  The even bigger problem with it's pricing isn't just the $40. The problem is that it's $40 and isn't necessarily better than the free alternatives. It some cases the free programs are actually better. It is the exact same problem that Opera had with the free web browsers.

LicenseKeeper
Aug 25 2009

PIK80  I have found it very fast to enter in my licensing info through Bento. Filemaker did an incredible job in making Bento easy to use. Personally I want to enter the information instead of the software since because I can't have ANY room for error. If I spent over $2,000 on Adobe's Creative I want to know that I have the correct license otherwise I will have the rude awaking one day that the license that was entered in was in fact wrong meaning that I would then have to blow another two grand re buying Creative Suite. I mean, really, how long does it take to enter in a single license. Two minutes? That is time well spent to me. I don't see how LicenseKeeper goes beyond Bento at all.

csv is the format for exporting to spreadsheets? Bento can do that. Bento seems to work very well resource wise on my 5 year old mac. I don't notice any slow down at all.

PIK80  It would be better to spend a little extra money to get FileMaker Bento to do this functionality (you can download a template to do Licenses on the Bento website.) In my opinion it would be better to spend $44 and get way more functionality than pay $20 for a program that you will only use for a very short amount of time to enter in the licenses.

(Sorry about the double post. I noticed a lot of spelling errors on my original post but MacUpdate wouldn't let me change it so I had to write a new one.

HMURCHISON  Yes but what about attaching license files and scraping emails for serial numbers? What about loading csv or appshelf files when you buy a bundle. A basic database would work as well so would creating a spreadsheet and tracking your serials this way but the thing that's missing here is "ease of use". I use a central license tracking app because it makes it trivial to store my license in a single function low resource app.

If I have to fire up Bento (with its corollary resource hit) every time I want to add, modify a license that doesn't make much sense to me. Bento is a great app that I plan to purchase but it doesn't make my job easier with regard to tracking my licenses. In License Keeper I have value added features that go behind what a basic database app like Bento offers and time being the one commodity you never get any more of I like the ease and time saving.

PIK80  Even if there are not any significant threats on the mac VirusBarrier will still protect against Windows viruses if you have Windows machines on your network.

PIK80  Apple added one of their best interface ideas when they introduced tabs that were integrated into the task bar and then they removed it for the final release. There was no reason that they couldn't have added this feature as an option under the tabs preferences but they decided to just remove it out right.

There was absolutely nothing wrong with tabs on top. It was a wonderful solution and I am looking forward to it being implemented across all of Apple's apps. Tabs are needed everywhere but without chewing up to much screen space.

KAIDOH  Just another opinion: I'm glad the tabs moved back to their old position. Every time I tried to move a tab around I wiped the whole window off the screen. And now at last I can see the whole title of a page without having to drag the page to a new window. The top tabs just felt plain wrong for me. Tabs aren't the solution to everything and I'm happily sacrificing some screen pixels for the sake of a much clearer user experience. Just my 2c

Billings
May 13 2009
*****

PIK80  By far the best invoice program I have used. I really don't have any major complaints at all! It was a little confusing that by starting a timer Billings wouldn't stop the current timer if you select from the Billings window. It doesn't do this if you select the timer from the menu bar which I always do.

I think the negative reviews are coming from the competition since I just don't see how anyone can give this a low rating or even an average rating.
