...BEWARE...

They have changed their licencing which makes life difficult for their paying customers.. You now need to get an activation code on install.. This activation code is linked to your OS/hardware, they will only give you ONE activation code per licence renewal (i.e. once a year).. This means if you upgrade your hardware even with a current subscription you are screwed, though apparently IF your subscription is current and you send them copies of receipts for your new hardware they may let you get a new licence key...

Worse, if your subscription is not current and you happen to upgrade your hardware you will no longer be able to even use the version you happened to have paid good money for as they will only give new keys to currently subscribing customers..

Quote from them.. "because we decide that one year is enough time period between hardware upgrade."

I was a loyal customer on my own dollar as well as 5 years of licences through work I do in my workplace with resco tools... 2009 is pretty good and we will be sticking with it for the forseable future, no more upgrades..

Resco please review this new policy as it really is only going to alienate loyal customers, I do know other customers reviewing their decision to upgrade to 2010 and continue using your products..
