(Incidentally, on the "intermittently" front, I think that so far it's happened on the first load of Scrivener following a reboot or shutdown, and no other time. Seems like the bug is tracked already so I don't suppose that's very helpful, but hey.)
Basically, Scrivener's been amazing and I've had no problems at all until now. I'm just worried that it will suddenly decide to revert to trial mode or begin to develop worse behaviour as some other users on this thread are seeing. Still... I've only been seeing this message for a week or so (presumably since two months after I installed the Paddle update), so there's not exactly a big rush. I do have an option to deactivate this install, but looking at everyone else's issues, I suspect trying to deactivate and reactivate would only leave me unable to use my license at all, so I'll hold on for the update and see if that deals with it. But all my books are in Scrivener at this point! I'd feel utterly lost without it!
Thanks a lot, Katherine, for the responses and updates.
