[QUOTE="woolecox, post: 292042, member: 18551"] Well, apparently not. but here is the reply I got from Patagonia Ballistics: [COLOR=black][FONT=Tahoma]"The License agreement allows for two licenses (included in the price) one for the Desktop and one for the Mobile edition.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=black][FONT=Tahoma] [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=black][FONT=Tahoma]However, if you prefer to exchange your Mobile license for another Desktop, no problem at all, just let us know.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=black][FONT=Tahoma] [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=black][FONT=Tahoma]On the other hand, if you want to install more licenses (than the two already included), then you need to purchase another one.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=black][FONT=Tahoma] [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=black][FONT=Tahoma]The Registration process must be run on any new device, since the locking mechanism is device-specific.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=black][FONT=Tahoma] [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=black][FONT=Tahoma]You are right, LB ballistics engine uses an advanced drag model, that’s not based on “G” functions, meaning for example, that there is no need for a G7 BC that lately has been so hyped.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=black][FONT=Tahoma] [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=black][FONT=Tahoma]However, the program uses as a starting point, and for the best convenience due to its wide availability, the G1 BC.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=black][FONT=Tahoma] [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=black][FONT=Tahoma]In general terms, a DC=0.500 is a very satisfactory starting point for streamlined bullets, provided that the BC is of good quality, meaning it’s correct and from a serious source.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=black][FONT=Tahoma] [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=black][FONT=Tahoma]As stated in the User’s Manual, any method not based on velocity readings (taken by a chrono) is not recommended at all, and by the same token also applies to BC calculations.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=black][FONT=Tahoma] [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=black][FONT=Tahoma]Since the right way to compute a DC values is somewhat difficult to accomplish, the best recommendation is to play with the DC value until a match is registered against your drop values.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=black][FONT=Tahoma] [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=black][FONT=Tahoma]But, as said before, the default value should give you plenty of accurate results, within a 96% confidence level under most situations.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=black][FONT=Tahoma] [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=black][FONT=Tahoma]Best regards,[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=black][FONT=Tahoma] [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=black][FONT=Tahoma]PB[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=black][FONT=Tahoma] [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=black][FONT=Tahoma]PS: We tried to keep to answer as practical as possible, if you need more details, please do not hesitate to contact us as required."[/FONT][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
