BEWARE: Oxygen Phone Manager II for Symbian OS phones v2.1 is released (was: Oxygen Phone Manager II for Symbian OS phones v2.1 is released)
Posted: 04-06-2004, 06:13 PM
I'd think very carefully before installing this update. Imagine my
surprise and delight (not!) when EVERY time I run v2.1, it pops up a dialog
box telling me that my subscription is about to expire, and that I need to
pay (per handset) for a year's extension to my licensed handsets in order
to qualify for upgrades and support.

Whilst I don't think it's unreasonable to charge an upgrade fee for MAJOR
revisions of software, I have a couple of issues with making it an ANNUAL
upgrade, irrespective of how major or minor, or indeed how many new
versions have been released:

1. Do I now have to pay in order to get bugs fixed?
2. Why can't I stop the damn thing *which I've paid for* popping up the
damn dialog box EVERY time I run it?

That's why there's "warez":

alt.binaries.warez.
alt.binaries.ibm-pc
alt.binaries.ibm-pc.0-day

You lose.

Thank you for your request! Technical support is annual. You should
just activate the newest activation keycode in program ( 'Help' ->
'Enter registration code' ). For version 2.1 you should request
corresponding keycode from your personal registered customer's page.
If your technical support subscription will expire, it doesn't
limitate anyhow program's functionality: you still can upload data
without any limitations and change phones inside the latest available
license as well.

> 1. Do I now have to pay in order to get bugs fixed?


In case, if your technical support subscription has not expired, just
request the latest keycode from your personal registered customer's
page. Also, please, check, whether you have set correct system date on
your PC.

> 2. Why can't I stop the damn thing *which I've paid for* popping up the
> damn dialog box EVERY time I run it?


This pop-up menu is not anyhow related to program's functionality: you
can still upload data without any limitations. This pop-up window just
informs you about technical support and updates subscription, so you
could get fast and easy access to technical support subscription
renewal information directly at program startup. But, indeed, you
there will be no any limitation to current program's functionality.

Perhaps in your next response, you would be so good as to actually answer
my points, rather than treating me (a customer!) like some kind of idiot...

Thank you for your request! With first copy you are getting free year
of technical support subscription and program updates. It means, that
after one year the program will function as it is specified in our
license agreement, however you won't be able to get technical support
and updates by e-mail. All of our version updates are 'major' as we
add an optimize new functions in our program.

We consider this new notification system to be more fair. This startup
notification shows, that you shouldn't pay anything, if you don't wish
to renew technical support subscription, unless, you won't be able to
download newer update till next license renewal. I.e., our technical
support services and program updates are periodic service: if you
won't update your technical support subscription, you can always keep
your previous issue, however you can receive new issues only after
technical support subscription renewal.

We'd like to apologize, but we had to ask for additional data about
system date and the latest keycode to be sure, that the problem isn't
involved by some other reasons.

Thank you for your patience and for understanding!

With best regards! Maxim Vyalkov
