BTW, Does this broadcasting sended over gateways to over department for example? So, if you want to check how many users to used one licence not only for one localnet, but for many localnets. In practice entire localnet may have subnets for each department. If we have two departments connected by bridge, for example: LocalNet 1 (Core Development): 192.168.1.0 (3 hosts used IntelliJ) LocalNet 2 (Core Development): 192.168.2.0 (2 host used IntelliJ) Also we have licence per 3 developers. We may use IntelliJ for 5 developers with license for only 3 developers in net configuration above.
Even more simple: if everybody has a plain personal firewall on his desktop and tells him to not broadcast the message, 50 people can use a single license concurrently.

Well, some license check is better than nothing ! What else could they do ? Polling www.intelliJ.com with the license key checking in real-time whether there's only one license used at a time ? And if you cannot connect the net, you could not use IntelliJ IDEA ? Or otherwise (that's the solution we've chosen for our webapp product) define a license for a defined machine, identified by its hostname or IP address. But in that case, you could not use your license on different computers... There are different approaches, but each has its own drawbacks, I guess.
The idea behind: it makes no difference how much effort you invest to create a system to secure your application, often it can be avoided with much less effort -- or the usability will be reduces significantly (e.g. when starting up IDEA, I need to connect to the internet with my modem -- esp. when EAP crashes each half hour).

It makes me remember one of my course in Security-Cryptography when I was a student. The weakest point of a secured system is the place where the attack will happen. That's why it doesn't really matter what the length of a cryptographic key is, if there's a flaw in the protocol surrounding key exchange. Etc... So the current system with broadcasting license information is sufficient. No need to spend more time (and money) on that.

And if I go to another country with a laptop and want to use Idea. What could I do if I do not have any internet access ? I think it's impossible to ask people to be permanently on internet. In fact it's impossible to have a perfect copy protection. Look Microsoft, they probably spent a lot of money with their activation system and continue to spend money for the callcenter needed, but the system was cracked the day it was released ...

BTW,
Does this broadcasting sended over gateways to over department for example?
So, if you want to check how many users to used one licence not only for one
localnet, but for many localnets. In practice entire localnet may have
subnets for each department.
If we have two departments connected by bridge, for example:
LocalNet 1 (Core Development): 192.168.1.0 (3 hosts used IntelliJ)
LocalNet 2 (Core Development): 192.168.2.0 (2 host used IntelliJ)
Also we have licence per 3 developers.
We may use IntelliJ for 5 developers with license for only 3 developers in
net configuration above.
Thanks!
