I think the press release and the website make it pretty clear that the "floating license" requires that it "float" ONLY on a network and the network needs some specific things even. The floating license they're describing is definitely NOT the solution to a freelancer who moves from place to place and wants to be able to have Baselight follow him around. I sympathize and empathize. I'm often in the same boat… Even inside my own shop, I am not on the right kind of network even in my office, so I would need multiple licenses really… It does help that all of my systems can at least have the free reader version and I only need one version for "editing" the color grades. But moving that license around is still virtually impossible.

What is not clear is whether or not individual freelance editors can migrate between different hardware platforms and facilities, and use their single paid version of the plugin. If the floating paid licence feature is limited to a single facility, then Baselight has failed to address the main source of 'friction' that prevents some of us from purchasing the paid plugin. A dongle- or software-based licensing scheme would solve this problem -- but the press release does not seem to address this long-standing request.
