Mac Pro Heat Issues

Recently, I’ve been getting questions from customers and friends asking “what’s next?” It has only been about three months since the release of LicenseKeeper and there is plenty of work to do. I have a whole list of requested enhancements and ideas to get to. And get to them I will. But, I’ve been keeping…
