Feedback: Returning to ZM after 10 years
Posted: Thu Mar 31, 2016 4:51 pm
Hi Guys,
I haven't used ZM for over 10 years! I recently came back, more or less motivated by 3d printing some models that I have had for a very long time. I purchased a 1 month license to test the latest ZM3, however I wanted to give some feedback on the licensing system.
I have somewhat slow internet by global standards, and as I am often in and out of ZM I have run into a very annoying problem. Every time I start ZM3 and attempt to import a model or perform some other function to continue a workflow process, I am denied due to license restrictions. This means that I open ZM3 I need to wait for it to load, patiently click on the Help button, goto the licensing TAB and wait for it to update and validate my license.
The delays in having to authenticate my license every single time is far too frustrating, are you planning on resolving this? Surely you can implement a better mechanic for validation, or even cache validation somehow on a daily basis, or hourly? I understand why its required, but its a big hindrance at the moment.
I am otherwise really enjoying ZM3, it has really helped me achieve some things with my models getting them print ready, and also printing some models from popular engines!
P.S. I linked my account and forum account, however I am still restricted to read only.
