No pity...
Most people have to justify every piece of software they purchase to
their boss. If it can't pay for itself, it doesn't get bought - not even
one copy. I use Script Debugger - one copy. When I've had to tweak
scripts at other machines across town I use Smile or Script Editor. The
environment might not be just the same, but they work just fine.
Late Night Software has to put food on the table just like every other
Joe or Jane Donut. They can charge whatever they want. They can even
make it dongle protected if they want.
Script Debugger is worth it for professional work - just like Photoshop,
QuarkXPress, InDesign....but just like QuarkXPress and InDesign, some
people prefer one over the other. They both work.
I'll be teaching some fellow employees some Applescript basics - we'll
be using Smile; a great product. The Applscripts will be just the same.

Late Night Software has been most unhelpful with this problem and I risk
getting booted off this list for this request.
I am asking someone to share their SD registration number with me for
the
purpose of overcoming this limitation, and I will reciprocate.
It is impossible for me to purchase a second number because my only
income
is Social Security, and the $180 price represents a third of my monthly
income.
The option of running a different editor on another networked machine
is not
really workable. Expecting the user to logoff of the target machine is
just
too unreasonable, especially after waiting for a timeout and
forcequitting
Finder just to recover control. I have laboriously developed
Applescript as
my backup tool and now the project looks like a waste of time.
Script Debugger is impeding its own development with this policy and
there
are competing editors out there with no registration enforcement,
albeit not
as useful.
PLEASE NOTE:
I do not normally condone copyright infringement activity, engage in
violation of terms of usage or otherwise practice an inethical
lifestyle.
But there is a point at which civil disobedience is a virtue. Its a
result
of democracy, just like the right to boycott and demonstrate.
Power to the people!
