Anyone like using Beersmith?

Yep... thread title and original question have been changed.I dont follow. I guess the Original post was edited?
I don't understand that. My BS v3 allows me to use it on 2 computers.I have both. I find beersmith to be more full featured than brewer's friend but much more cumbersome to use. I also have had consistent issues with cloud storage. Since I work recipes at work during lunch but brew at home this has stopped me from ever using it on an actual brew day.
I've been very happy with brewer's friend and brun' water and the results have been spectacular. Even though I have the full version of beersmith 3.0, I don't use it.
It's supposed to, but I've never gotten the cloud storage to work. I'm a software engineer so I'm far from computer illiterate.I don't understand that. My BS v3 allows me to use it on 2 computers.
Edit... The original post was a question about splitting a subscription since it covered two machine installs which explains my original response. No harm done. Likely a misunderstanding like two installs was equal to a BYO BOGO offer. It's two installs for a single user.
The only problem I've had using the two computers is that it doubles the count of my recipes, so if I store a recipe to the cloud on one and then access on the other and make a change, it's now two recipes. Still I can live with that for now.It's supposed to, but I've never gotten the cloud storage to work. I'm a software engineer so I'm far from computer illiterate.
I just got frustrated and said eff it.

To everyone that is using BeerSmith vs3:
Does it allow for metric measurements?
I don't seem to be able to find it in their descriptions and pages.
I don't want to start a free trial as I don't have all my equipment together yet. Currently I am just looking at the different options that are available
BeerSmith is too complicated and not free.
I use BrewMate. It is enough, simple and free.

I can develop a recipe in 10 minutes also, then I have a tendency to spend an hour picking it apart.I started with the predecessor to BrewToad. It produced good beer but for me was too simplified. I then got Beersmith 2.0. It is a tool that you have to learn to use. I have everything set now and I can create a recipe in about 10 minutes. It has all the features that I need. I would not give it up unless I found something better and cheaper.
It’s overall pretty good at building recipes and nice to have an offline software I can just open right up. Only thing that’s not very good is the PH and water..these are pretty much worthless and seem to never get updated to be more user friendly.
