.mpw files also fail to open in 1.187 if saved from 2.004.

(I think the ownership of patterns is relative to your license, not the computer ID.)

I don't think so. I have early patterns from old computer that I cannot edit on the computer I am using now.

I have different computers with different IDs and I have no problem operating with patterns created in one with the other. Maybe there was a version change way back when where the format changed. Maybe the copy protection method changed. I think what I said is true.

Seems to open in Designer 2 but not 1.187. This is not supposed to be. Maybe the file is corrupted.

Do not know about MPW files. Need to test this out. But remember a MPW files gives the person who downloads it the ability to make changes and create patterns as his own. I have no complaint with this, just letting everyone know. Fact is if you design a pattern you need to make a MPW of it, so later on if your computer ID changes, you can still open and edit the patterns yourself. (Unless you have made the pattern and imported using STL importer)
