Migrate from USB Safely Remove to Zentimo for $8.90

<< < (2/3) > >>

4wd:
Maybe choose to pay in Russian Rubles, (149.00 RUB), which works out to almost half the cost of other currencies.

eg. RUB149.00 ~= US$5.27

Most likely exchange transaction fees are being added for other currencies, eg. AU$ is currently higher than US$, (AU$1 ~= US$1.03), but it would cost me more to buy in AU$.

The exchange rates and fees your bank charges for international transactions may be less than they get charged, (that they pass on to you).

Selling a lifetime license for a dead product is scam.-wr975 (April 01, 2011, 04:49 AM)

You said this before in USB Safely Remove 4.4 final released * CHANGE OF LICENSE POLICY * and they replied there.

...One small concern: Zentimo might have caused a small bit of instability on my Vista desktop -- a major crash a couple of hours after installation, but it hasn't recurred so it might have been a coincidence...

Unfortunately I had a similar experience with Zentimo on a XP system several months ago. I had no stability issues before installing Zentimo, and I've had none since deciding to uninstall. After several crashes with Zentimo I had seen enough to uninstall. But I will probably try it again in the future. :-\

I've been using Zentimo on my Win7 netbook pretty much faultlessly, and seen no problems since the first crash on my Vista desktop; as I say, it might have been a coincidence.

It might also be a coincidence that the netbook didn't have USBSR installed before I put Zentimo on...

I note the previous comments with respect to USBSR's licencing, but I think they have a point: a lifetime licence is hard to justify, financially. It's nice when people honour such things -- I bought a lifetime licence for Pretty Good Solitaire back in, ooh, maybe 1998? No such thing exists anymore, and the author's licences are now only good for a version or two, but he honours the lifetime licences he sold, and I sometimes feel quite guilty about the fact that I keep getting free updates -- but there are other products I've bought licenses for in the past that no longer exist or are no longer of any use (copy of DESQview/386, anyone?) It's hard to see how USBSR could be improved without bolting on extra features anyway -- it works perfectly as it is, it does what it says on the tin, how many upgrades do you really think you need? So they've worked that out and, rather than completely abandon USBSR, have produced a new product that has the extra bolt-on features and a new licencing model that might just keep them going into the future. You don't need Zentimo but you already have a USBSR lifetime license? So there's no argument really, is there, except you have a green arrow in the system tray instead of a Z and you have to write a Truecrypt commandline for the autostart option instead of having it written for you.

I've thought about this a lot; it's clear the authors are sensitive about this issue anyway. I didn't NEED Zentimo but I've bought the upgrade because I'd like that bit of code to survive for a while to come.

I presume you mean the vendor has a hard time justifying the offer of lifetime licenses?  Spare a thought for your fellow Brits who don't have the income for constant updates!

Still got mine - that plus QEMM and NDOS were the most productive environment I ever had.  Can't bear to get rid of it.

That's the position I'm in.  I do have the free license for Zentimo 1.0 that they gave away a while back, in case of need.

That's a nice approach.
