Help Swype beta stops working

If you reboot your phone and it stops working, change input to stock keyboard then put back to swype. If it just randomly stops working...i have no idea.
 
I gave up on uninstalling, reinstalling, and re-licensing the beta once it started happening more than once a week. I bought an app that actually exists in the market and supports its customers rather than relying on device OEMs as a method of distribution.
 
I had Swype on my og droid and decided to put it on my TB 2 days ago. It worked great (no auto spacing of course) until I had to reboot my phone. I'm not planning on reinstalling it and wasting my time. I had bought SlideIt before I got Swype (on my droid)so I just installed that on my TB and it works great...so far. Now I have auto spacing back!!
 
I have the same problem every time I reboot. The quick fix I found was to change the key board back to stock and change the input back to swype. It only takes a few seconds and doesn't require uninstall. That is the only problem i have experience and I absolutely love swype so to me it's worth a few seconds of my time.
 
On mine, for some reason, if it stops, I have to change it out of Swype, back in, then go re-run the Installer app, and click on "Use Swype" on it's menu. just changing it out and back doesn't re-enable it properly. Only happens every so often though, and as it's still a beta, I agree with ^ that I'm ok with the ten seconds to fix it :)
 
I could never get it to work at all. I have swype checked on in the keyboard menu but it doesn't change anything.

You have to long press on a text entry box (like in the messaging app for instance) and select input method, then select the keyboard you want. Checking it in the keyboard menu just allows it to be an option in the select input method screen.
