That may have been a misunderstanding as there has never been a requirement to log in to your DesignSpark account that is completely separate from the software, you do have to set up an account once which gives you access to the forum, and is used to access the online library, but that’s all.
If you were having to login and activate your actual software each time, then this was a firewall or proxy server issue which I have seen some post on the forum about, this from memory tends to affect some company users and they supply the Url’s that IT need to add for correct access. I’m a small one man business, so don’t have that type of issue.
There is only one advert window that you have to click to close or follow for more info, but that’s all. Sometimes the advert is quite useful and is always design related so not really an issue in my view for a free unrestricted product, and you don’t get any adverts after that.
As an example of my experience, I was already registered at the DesignSpark home page, I downloaded and installed V7 at launch last year. Completed a registration form (which had most of the entries filled from my web account) and job done. When I launch DSPCB I get one advert window which I read or close and then have unrestricted access to do my work. It remembers my DesignSpark account so I do not have to login at all to access ModelSource.
When I updated to a later release, it picked up all my registration details transparently and ran perfectly from there, so no further registrations or login since last year and just one click to close the advert.
