ADMIN: Should I upgrade from v2.104 to v2.210?

[admin]

We have released Vogone 3.002 at $99.99. Monday, we EXPECT to email a Discount Coupon to existing Vogone owners to buy at $39.95. This will provide a new Registration Code, as many Vogone users have our older Serial number which won't install Vogone 3.

However, there may be an installation problem as some of our beta testers, when installing the release version, are having difficulty installing and running. We may have released too early.

FYI: We converted the Vogone 3.0 SOURCE CODE to compile under Microsoft's "latest and greatest" VisualStudio.NET development environment. However, it appears to require TWO new DLL components in our installation package, but they don't tell us that!


VOGONE 3.0 SOFTWARE DEMO

I am up early to test our new Vogone 3.002 DEMO. This is the FIRST time we have ever provided a SOFTWARE demo of Vogone. We are paranoid not to give away an EXTREMELY VALUABLE product, yet have it do enough to give the user an idea of how good a job it does.

In 1999, all 4 of our products were hacked and put on web sites around the world. It took us 2.5 years to recover. Demos that run for 30 days and quit, or process x songs and end... are EASY to hack so they run without these restrictions.

Several years ago, immediately after releasing our DNoise demo, sales stopped dead! The hampering was not significant enough, allowing the demo to be fully useable. We had been developing and selling DNoise since 1982. It was a major lesson I'll never forget!

We expect to release the Vogone 3.002 demo for testing this week. We need to insure EVERYONE can install and run it without problems.

Yes I am paranoid about a Vogone demo! However, I realize we must provide a demo to expose how poorly the other products work in comparison.
