Potential Exploit Hole and Concern on TVPaint Software

Just addressing. I think there maybe a security flaw or concern for TVPaint. Maybe??? I thought the USB Dongle you could only use/activate it for one software at time.

But when you upgrade. From TVPaint 10.5 to TVPaint 11. You can start up two software at time.

I think there maybe be a security hole TVPaint.

What if maybe if one computer starts up the program TVPaint 11 and the another computer in some way starts up with TVPaint 10.5 both with one USB Dongle connected with both computers at the sametime. I think hackers/crackers can crack into the software by deriving in someway. Maybe a USB Hub that connects to two computers with only one USB Dongle and start cracking the software from there, I really don't know.

I'm also wondering. If only 1 USB Dongle if go down 11 to 10.5 to 9.5 to 8.5 to 7.5etc and use them all at the sametime. The other if future TVPaint 15 or something TVPaint 14 13 12 11. Is there a loophole/security risk that one USB can activate/use more than one software, at multiple computers all at the sametime?

I think there should be an unofficial patch if there's a hole, be fix silently, quietly, and without people knowing.

I don't need a reply just addressing.

Thank you for your concern. This behaviour is not a mistake but a choice. Some people needs to use several tvpaint at the same time, for example to export / import quicktime (they open both 64 an 32 bit version).
