Update Passed Unknowingly

When 1st purchased Hoster Quad,I used to get emails about upcoming updates. However, just checked & discovered one came out last March? And now I've got to pay to get up to speed? I think after you spend as much as I did for the big package, updates should be a given for the life of the product. I truly enjoy every aspect of my Hoster software, but the latest twist has b\me a bit perturbed. Anybody wish to comment? Feel free to let me know. Thanks.

I don't think they send emails out anymore. Those were the good old days. Now they are just like everyone else and just want your money. Too bad.

Re: Update Passed Unknowingly

they used to have it posted on the header( top left corner where it says announcement ) when you open up the hoster thread, and also if you guys pay attention on Hoster forum, they always announced the released of the new upgrade..

Re: Update Passed Unknowingly

There have been more updates since March and even if you had gotten that one you would still be beyond the 12 month period and would have had to pay for the latest one that recently came out.
I am sure we would all like to get free upgrades for life for a program, however the practical fact is it costs money to have programmers spend hours creating those upgrades. MTU spent countless hours and dollars getting Hoster to where it is today and offered totally free upgrades for well over a year as they brought version 4 to the state it is at now, with basically a complete rewrite of the program adding many new features never used before.
In addition to what Billyo mentioned you can always check for upgrades by using the "Check for Upgrades" in the Help section at the top of all MTU programs.

Re: Update Passed Unknowingly

Leave it to Dale to talk true. I know I've been lacking in keeping up with update checks, but sometimes other things take precidence. Sorry about stirring folks up. All have a great day.
