Due to reasons I will not explain here further (ask me in private),
Poseidon keyfiles cannot be bought after 01-Aug-03. People having just
bought an USB card, that does not come with an OEM Licence, have the
chance to register Poseidon until the end of this month.
Support for existing users is NOT affected and will continue as usually.
It is recommended that dealers stop selling USB cards without licence to
avoid angry customers buying an useless piece of hardware, until the
vendor delivers his own software solution or the situation is solved
somehow.

Poseidon licencing ceasing on 01-Aug-03 : Comment 18 of 94 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Rassilon on 21-Jul-2003 09:51 GMT | In reply to Comment 17 (DaveP): No problem, no annoyance felt, just wanted to clarify my post :)
As for the rumour itself:
I am a bit of an Elbox supporter, as far as their hardware and software goes, so I wouldn't post anything that would deliberately harm their reputation.
If you look at original situation from a less 'Flame' infested angle its a lot more clear cut.
e.g. Elbox put some code into there software so that anybody pirating it would get a surprise. Someone found it, posted it, and Chris Hodges took objection to (rightly/wrongly whoose to say!) CH removed there developers privledges, even though there products promoted sales of his own.
Elbox must have taken some sort of action to continue developing, probably buying a keyfile legitimately, thus ensuring future sales for them and CH. |
