I agree with all of this, plus the fact Gw Connect is quite behind
compared to the official Skype client. But we can't blame Gw Micro for
this; instead we blame Skype for taking some time to update their
runtimes then release it into the developer community. Now because I
want to be current, I have switched back to Skype and use the
SkypeTalking program, which may be discontinued but still works with the
latest Skype 3.6.

GWConnect, is running in the sponsor-mode. Either because of certain server
trouble on GW's side, or because the internet connection of a user, will have
happened to fail the very second when the app tries to confirm the validity of
his Window-Eyes installation.
Really GW, why all this continious validation. OK, I do see, if I do not own a
Window-eyes license, I do not own a right to use the GWC add-free either. But
look. If I open GWC at 10AM, and the GWC confirms my WE license - what would
ever tell this license to have somehow expired 30 minutes later? And if nothing
would denote such expiration, then why does GWC have to keep confirming my
license this often? It should have been the least of a programatic matter, to
set a flag, once the GWC has confirmed my licens, telling it to run add-free,
no the rest of the day. That would cause less stress on the GW server, and it
would at least, ensure that those of the users who rightly are told they will
have an add-free version, really get it. Not depending on whether the GW server
will be up running at any point, or if my wireless connection would happen to
have five seconds of trouble.
Besides, spinning on this. If I install my GWC today, being a fully licensed WE user, why
would you ever need further validation. Let the GWC installation perform its validation,
and save the result deeply hidden in the Registry. GW, you know how to copyright your
screen reader, but it seems you did not know, how to copyright your GWC app. Sorry, but
this never made any sense to me. And, it seems it does not make sense to most users
either. Even the LTO's of the screen reader, could be confirmed, and GWC would be
"Registered" to run add-free for the paid-for time. No need to expect, that the
license will expire every 30 minute all around the clock.
If you want us to use an otherwise well-done app, please let us get what you
promise us. You promised us an add-free version, long as we are legally
licensed users of the WE screen reader. Then I really expect us to be add-free,
no matter if I happen to be able to connect to your server at any time of the
day. Why don't you make a load of adds, comin up all the time, inside WE itself
- just because I am not on the net at the moment, or because your server has
gone for lunch. You well managed to have the screen reader licensed once for
all, then why not your GWC app?
