It also works that way because the licensing is different. A GM can install Realm Works on any number of machines, and sync the data from that remote server to that machine for use; HeroLab has a per-machine licensing scheme, which is quite different.
They have? Then why on the first page of their website is it called a "tier cloud service"?

I wasn't looking to start a semantics discussion. I was just referring to that I would love LWD to offer a service to Hero Lab, like they do for Realm Works, not "exactly" the same service. /jeez

Call it cloud, file sync or virtual ketchup, at the end of the day, clouds are just file repositories with some cool condiments baked in.
