Auto-Login and "existing session" messages

[disco79stu]

Hi,

just wondering, after now several years of this, any plans to make the whole login thing a bit "cleaner" or smoother?
I mean, the login screen on every start is kinda pointless imo. yes, there is an auto login after 3 seconds, but why is this even there? I have several user account based applications, none of them present me with a screen like this every time and a 3 seconds pause. I kinda find this a bit strange, just login instantly please and provide a logout option for whoever does not want to auto-login and needs to be logged off for some reason.
More strange, even a bit annoying, is this "existing session" message, that to this day I have never quite understood. Can't this be solved by some "always disconnect existing sessions" option or something? I never once in years have clicked "no" here, this also could just be avoided imo.
Not complaining, just a thought for future improvement from my pov.
Cheers

Hello,

This is how our licensing/support system works and there are no plans to change this at this point in time.

Active Sky needs to be closed properly and not force closed.
ASP3D/ASXP/12/ASFS needs to log off of our servers properly and then close itself down after this routine is completed.

If ASP3D/ASXP/12/ASFS is force closed or crashes, without closing properly, it is normal to see the disconnect other device message.
Usually we see this with force close issue from Autostart/Stop programs such as SimStarter and with ProSim.

The Account Login, activation/security licensing and support system was required due to prolific piracy, shared usage of licenses, and account theft and the new system has helped reduce all these issues, allowing us to continue development.

Constant license sharing, piracy and hacking have necessitated significant and ever-increasing anti-piracy measures and unfortunately we are all burdened and frustrated by this.

Hope this helps.

Sorry for coming back to this so late.

So would it be possible to introduce an option to always answer the disconnect question with yes?
"problem" I'm trying to solve is my custom auto-start batch that starts all of my MSFS stuff with one click (and in a proper order) but it sometimes stops with AS_FS because of that "existing session" prompt that then needs my active response (click).
