Offline Program with an Online Seat

I guess I can see tying the software down to one PC, I'm not saying that I like it, I have just seen similar things with other software packages. If you go through and read the EULA of many, I would say most, of your programs software manufacturers/distributors don't "technically" allow you to install the software on more than one PC at a time, regardless of whether or not you have it actively running on both. The thing that really is a problem for me is that I can't use the software for anything at all if for some reason the CMM is down. I have a machine that I have worked on that sometimes has insufficient air pressure for a variety of reasons. This is bad enough when I have to run programs, but there is nothing that I can do about that. When I find it most annoying though is when it happens after I have run a program and I am trying to generate reports. The style of reports that they want at that place can take a significant amount of time sometimes and it's really annoying when I can't use the software because the machine doesn't have pressure. Yes I know that there is an error, and for what I'm doing it really doesn't matter. Kindly let me clear the message box and let me go about my business. Don't keep flashing that on the screen and only give me the option to completely shut down PC-DMIS. That isn't helpful for anyone and in a case like that I don't see it as a violation of any agreement that I have, real or implied, to be able to use the software.
