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 30 of 94 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Sigbjørn Skjæret on 21-Jul-2003 15:15 GMT | In reply to Comment 27 (Anonymous): No, Elbox are the ones making their customers life difficult by selling hardware with unlicensed drivers for an unregistered stack, thereby forcing their customers to go to 3rd party solutions just to be able to use that hardware, don't you think that is unfair, not to mention confusing?
I know Chris has caught quite abit of flac for this (and this is clearly not his fault, but Elbox's for misleading their customers and selling essentially useless hardware), so I really don't blame him for this decision...
All Elbox has to do is either license Poseidon (or some other stack), or write their own, it's as "simple" as that .. Chris did not put you in this position, Elbox did.
