Yah, I had a very bad experience with gwmicro a couple years ago.
I'd gotten on the rental plan. Basically, you pay a hundred bucks a
month for so many months, then after your time is up, they'd send you
the full version of the software, and you're all done.
Well, after about 4 or 5 months, I'd been paying, but not using the
codes, because I didn't need them at the time. But when I did
finally start using them, I wound up using all three in a single day,
because everytime I rebooted, we would claim it wasn't registered,
and needed a new code. Also, it turns out that during this
timeframe, 6.0 came out (I'd started during 5.5's time) and gwmicro
never did send me an updated copy of 6.0.
After complaining, and asking for new codes, I was told no, but I was
welcome to continue the payment plan, and they'd happily send me
version 6.0 when I'd paid the remainder of my term.
Needless to say, I declined their offer, and no longer consider we to
be worthwhile.
If I wanted treatment like that, I'd pay my upgrade fee, and get my
sma back for jaws.
These companies just don't get it.
<sigh>
Ah well. One of these days ...
enjoy.
