I've had almost no problems on two machines. Once, my Mathematica 6 gave me a message concerning the maximum of user licences reached. I guess there must have been a faceless Mathematica 6 process running at that time, as it runs without a hitch now. I also have Mathematica 5.2 on both machines and it still works.
