Change the option to a different option and the limit doesn't apply.

Is the software category directly linked to your product ? If not, could you try to do it with the direct category of the product ?

It won't let me add two options no matter if it's the same option or a different option. But if I change the option to a different one it will add the base product to the cart. So it is working like this: **B = BaseProduct, O= option STEP 1: B + O1 (Add to cart) = B + O1 STEP 2: B + O1 (Add to cart) = B + O1 + "YOU HAVE REACHED THE LIMIT FOR B & O1"** Works great... Now if I switch the option... **STEP 1: B + O1 (Add to cart) = B + O1 STEP 2: B + O2 (Add to cart) = B + B + O1 + "YOU HAVE REACHED THE LIMIT FOR O2"** So I end up with two base products... On top of this I was also wondering why when I remove the base product from the cart that the option does not go with it? It should be impossible for people to buy an option without an product.

Please try to replace the file administrator/components/com_hikashop/classes/cart.php with the one in the archive enclosed. That fixes the issues with the limits and options in such case.
