Or will it require a license forever?

the license is free so whats the deal? this is to prevent ppl from making money on what they developers work hard on.

What unlocking are you talking about?

If you are talking about the sim unlock, I think it be more productive to work for an hour (probably less for many people) and pay for the unlock sim.

how ungrateful and cheap are you??
the unlock is nothing but 20 bucks...but your paid a pretty penny for your device im sure (well some of us)

some people are happy to donate more then that.

the unlocker will get cracked like everything else. It sucks but it's true. Adobe has big money in their security, and they get cracked with each new SW release. All the license feature is going to do is 1, slow down the cracking (maybe), and 2, make it to where I cannot flash my 2 friends phones from my computer. I wish there was a way for it to be secure, such as pulling each phone's esn meid, etc, but then there's another security risk. No good answer to this problem, I fear :/

My guess is the unlocker already pulls the meid/esn when you connect it..either that or some other id like mac or etc..either way an ID is definitely pulled when doing the license.
