Back years ago I paid for a lifetime subscription to the AVS4YOU software. I used their software and I loved it. I commented about their software here and on one or more YouTube videos.
They have a deal you can pay, right now it is, $39.00 for a one year subscription for all 18 of their programs. I signed up for the time time offer which right now is on special for $59.00 and the normal price is $199.00 for it.
I was very happy with the software. You get a long registration code. I knew when I saw that code that I would have problems.
I think 2009 was about the last time it worked for me. I installed Windows RC in 2009. I think the code worked for me then but if I remember correct I could not get it to work after that.
The message I get is that I am trying to use their software on more than one computer. That is not true. I have just had to re-install the O/S on this computer.
I remember contacting them a couple of times since 2009 and I have not had any luck. Hell, I seem to think I even paid again for the software. I am not sure about that but I think I did. They have places you can get “help” but seems I was not able to get any help but I do not remember the details.
I hate software that you get a “registration” code for that you have to enter that is locked to the computer you are using at that time. I understand they are trying to prevent themselves from having people use their software for free or on a bunch of computers but their system sucks.
I have had other software over the years that gave me the same fucking problem.
I guess if you install Windows O/S and never have to format or you never get a new computer then everything will work fucking great.
Some software people just give you one code and it is good after that. WebCamMax is one of them BUT what the author of that software does is keep having the software say there is an important upgrade with fixes in it. I think he does that about each month or two. I have never seen a fucking change to the program in years. So you download the “new” upgrade and it ask if you want to make Ask.Com your home page, your search site and something else. I always say NO NO NO NO… It always changes my home page, search site etc. I am sure that the author has a lot of people that just leave those settings and he gets some sort of income from Ask.Com out of it.
Well I contacted AVS4YOU again and I will see if I get any help. I love their software. All of their 18 programs are great. The software is well worth the price but I hate going through this crap. Plus I have not been able to use their software since about 2009 now. It is 2012 now!
:)They have been offering this special price ever since they started!

OK that was what I was thinking. It seemed like that was the price I always saw... Nothing wrong with saying your having a sale to get customers.
There is something wrong with them not contacting me and fixing my code so it will work.
I liked their price and I liked their programs.
But there "lifetime" registration means nothing.
I can not recommend them.
