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 36 of 94 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Sigbjørn Skjæret on 21-Jul-2003 17:17 GMT | In reply to Comment 35 (Rat): If you had read the whole mail, you'd have noticed the following:
"It should be clear to everybody that the registration method chosen by
Mr. Hodges for the Poseidon stack, directly with him, is the most advantageous
option for Mediator users (when price is concerned). In this way they avoid
all taxes and similar extra fees, which would have to be added when
registration is performed by the companies selling the registered Poseidon
with the USB hardware."
Which would suggest that what they actually proposed was not a licensed version of Poseidon, but simply handling registration themselves upon purchase, which I can understand why Chris rejected, as it means he loses track of the registrations, not to mention the big hassle/cost with transferral of money...
However, if they *did* suggest to license Poseidon, you have no idea what they actually offered for it .. for all you know the sum was nowhere near reasonable.
