Yes, they do have educational licensing, at around $50, but still, that's a lot. XP But since initial registration is around $125. but really, BBEdit has been around for so long now, changing means re-learning a number of things, and possibly losing commands and functions that I'm used to.ДЄnd seriously, I would buy BBEdit, if it wasn't so expensive, and if updating from, say, 8.0 to 8.6 (current), didn't require money. And there's another text/code editor out called TextMate or something of that sort. There's a few other options - the people who make BBEdit have released a freeware, 'lite' version, I believe, although I don't know how 'lite'. I use it by habit, really - and probably should try something different since the GUI has started to annoy me. Of course, there's no reason to continue using it. And after it quits on you several random times, especially while you're trying to do something important, it gets a bit annoying. Which, I think, is an awesome way of discouraging people from trying to pirate the application without resorting to online verification (adobe, micro$oft) or some other annoying anti-piracy measure. And while it's easy enough to generate another code on your own, you don't know how long that will last. The reason why I find this amusingly effective, is that it means there's no way for end-user-pirates to know if the pirated code they've received is valid or not. I don't recall if it allows you to save or not, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't. If it fails any of those random checks, which seem to be able to happen at any time - although most are event generated, the program will immediately notify you that you're using an invalid number, and force the program to quit. Apparently there's a large number of checks within the program to validate the number. etc, to find those.Д«ut most importantly, there's absolutely no indication after you enter the code that the code is invalid. took me no more than 2 minutes of rapid key.delete. Take, for example:Д«EE850-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXX => even incomplete serials are accepted.

Heck, you are guaranteed to find an acceptable serial number.

#Bbedit license serial numbers#

A large number of serial numbers are accepted. Line wrapping setup for quickly changing between 80 char and window width.)Д«ut mostly, this post was written because was (and still am) amused (in a good way) by their anti-piracy measures. (bigger, less icons on the window that you can't make smaller (does not follow MacOS X GUI guidelines.?! ctrl-click doesn't offer options to do text-only, etc.). Actually, it's a beautiful piece of work, or at least used to be - it's relatively simple to use, but packs just about everything you might need, although there's been recent changes to the GUI that I dislike.

There's an interesting piece of software out there for Mac called BBEdit.
