There has been a long outstanding issue with licenses not being recognised when Internet Sharing is enabled. It was brought to my notice today that the new release was sometimes not recognising licenses on Intel based Macs as well.

This release fixes both these issues.

Differencia 1.1.1 Release Notes

- Fixed a bug with licensing on Intel Macs

- Fixed a bug with licensing when using Internet Sharing
(note Differencia may launch slowly if you have Internet Sharing enabled)
