Hey TinJaw: what do you think about maintaining this list in your original post? That way it's easy to see the latest $:-\$

Sound good Perry.

Bumpy, bumpy...

tinjaw · « **Reply #29 on:** May 02, 2008, 01:39 AM »

Ah! Life has distracted me from this. I will revisit in a few weeks. Sorry.

Darwin · « **Reply #30 on:** May 02, 2008, 07:59 AM »

No worrie, tinjaw! I was just bumping it in hopes that the elusive 6th partner would notice the thread and sign up...

I purchased the toolset license about four years ago. Last year (or maybe the year before that?) I saw that they had upgraded some tools and I downloaded and installed them, but the registration key didn't work. I wrote them and asked about it and was told that my license, while good for as long as I had it, was only good for the version I originally purchased and if I wanted the updated stuff I had to purchase again.

That bummed me out a bit since that proviso was not listed on their site when I had purchased; they added that much later.

I will say that when I complained about that they did offer me a complimentary key for the later versions to placate me. I declined, though. I wasn't trying to wheedle a free ticket. Just thought that adding that after I purchased was a little unfair. Either way, with all the "tools" you get, I mostly just used the PDF creator.

It's time to do this. I will make the purchase and then ask you all to give me your share of the cost as a donation.

Can the following people please chime in that they are ready to purchase this week:

* darwin
* Perry Mowbray
* cranioscopical
* wraith808
* dcm

I'm in, tinjaw!

Me too tinjaw

Not interested in jumping in Jim? With the multiple licence discount you'd be getting the whole shebang for the price of the PDF-Suite?

mouser · « **Reply #36 on:** June 17, 2008, 10:33 AM »

Before you make the final purchase, you might contact them and ask if they might be willing to make the bulk price-per-order discount available to dc members as a whole. They'd still get the guaranteed purchases from you guys, plus a few more.

No thanks, Perry. I have Nuance's PDF Converter Professional 5 installed, and that is pretty extensive but has a lot of hooks into the OS. Having too many PDF programs might get a little "conflicting"!!

(Besides, I also have had the Cute PDF driver installed for a while - very nice free PDF creator!)

Thanks!

Jim

cranioscopical · « **Reply #38 on:** June 17, 2008, 01:22 PM »

Sure, let's go

We use Cute at work: and it's pretty bullet proof.

Nice suggestion mouser: will you tinjaw, or I don't mind?

tinjaw · « **Reply #40 on:** June 19, 2008, 10:30 AM »

@Perry: If you could inquire, please do so. I am very busy and would appreciate the assistance.

OK: Done... lets see what they say

Perry Mowbray · « **Reply #42 on:** June 20, 2008, 10:32 AM »

Received a reply back from Software995:

Thank you for your inquiry. We appreciate the offer. However, at this point, we're not going to take you up on this.

Pity

So, we're right to go then?

cranioscopical · « **Reply #43 on:** June 20, 2008, 11:13 AM »

Thanks for trying, Perry, appreciated!

I guess one should always ask.

I know I'm probably preaching to the choir in this thread but...

Following a remark made on this site somewhere, I've occasionally called software vendors, prior to a purchase, to ask if there is a discount or promotion. Surprisingly many either have something available or will create an on-the-spot discount.

We just need wraith808 to say go and then I will order.

That's what I (we) were hoping for... I had some recent success in other areas that will be available during the fundraiser, but it's good to come back to earth again

We're already getting a discount anyway, right? It was probably a little cheeky, but exposure here is definitely a win-win situation: so there's no harm in trying...

wraith808 · « **Reply #46 on:** June 26, 2008, 02:16 PM »

Oh! Go!

And I don't see why they *wouldn't* take you up on it... it's not like they were losing business, but more like gaining it. Oh well...

tinjaw · « **Reply #47 on:** June 26, 2008, 02:25 PM »

Everybody is here. I will place the order tonight and then report back to you all what your cost will be. You can then donate the appropriate amount of credits and I will have mouser transfer them to my PayPal account.

-tinjaw (June 26, 2008, 02:25 PM)

Couldn't we just pop them into your PayPal account directly?

Darwin · « **Reply #49 on:** June 26, 2008, 09:16 PM »

I was wondering the same thing, Perry!
