Title: What do you get extra for paying for the licence?
Post by: Sweep on November 24, 2006, 07:58:30 PM
Don't want to sound too cheeky, but what do you get for paying for the licence?
I am completely overwhelmed by the free download of Mach 3, and was wondering just how much better it could get by paying up?

thanks to all those who have put their time into such an outstanding product.

I knew I was forgetting something. I think with the demo you can only send signals at 25KHz. 45KHz with a licenses. ;D

You also get the knowledge that you are supporting a guy who spends up to 14 hours a day on code, continually improving mach and charging nothing for updates. That in itself is reason enough.

Like I said Ynneb, it is a difficult question to raise without coming across as, as we would say politely in England, 'cheeky.'
I was just wondering if you got more wizards etc. The question might have been better put if I had asked what was omitted from the trial version over the full version.

From my original post ..."thanks to all those who have put their time into such an outstanding product".

My nick is Cheeky. But it is not my attitude.. it is a product.
I know quite a lot about designing and building aircraft. I have ventured into building CNC machines and if it were not for guys like you Benny and Art etc.. I would still be building pedal planes!
How many ways can one spell thank-you!

Q - What do you get extra for paying for the licence?

A Respect and the ability to sleep well at night knowing that Art hasn't used your sign up details and forwarded them to Readers Digest and all the local double glazing firms for mail shots.  ::)   ::)
