It may even be worse. My Ms 11 has stopped working. It now displays the following error message.
Metastock licence required File astsrv.exe is not current version Let’s face it the useless types have taken over Ms and it hasn’t improved much since Ms 7. Only the prices have gone up. Very disappointing. I am looking for a replacement. From: Joe C.

Both Reuters End of Day and Xenith or what ever they want to call it is part of Thomsonrueters. With both Xenith and Quote Center, the core data is from Thomsonrueters. Xenith is just wrapped differently to give you all the fundamental information we don't need nor use. I was told that once you use version 12 with Xenith, then they will disable your Quote Center after a couple months. Why, I don't know. Sounds like once they deactivate your Quote Center, you won't be able to go back to previous verion 11 and 10 or 9. I was told by the people from Metastock that version 12 will not read any data on your c drive anymore. For different reasons, I need to have the data on my C drive. At some point, there will be a windows version out there where version 11 will no longer work with that new version of windows. At that point, anybody with version 11 and before that has data on the c drive is kaput. What are the other good programs out there that will let an individual read the F1.DAT and F1.DOP formats? Would they be compatible with the code for Metastock?

I upgraded from Version 11 to MetaStock 12 on 20 Dec 2012...Called them on 21st Dec for a refund. First MetaStock program which I have returned. Bottom line - if you are out of WiFi/internet range the program is worthless. Cannot Open or do anything with it. This rules out taking your laptop on vacation or weekends in a lodge,, where you do not have internet connection, and expecting you will do some exploring/testing of formulas. No amount of "Spin" alters that fact. Hold on to your previous versions....
