I had a license issue with year 2 of our product - Despite the fact we
purchased from the same people as we renewed, Fluke claimed they couldn't
find the product to renew. Other than that, it was just a little over
complex in terms of getting a map in etc and supported NICs when things
like NETSPOTAPP do a very similar job and just work (for free!).
