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 38 of 94 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Bill Hoggett on 21-Jul-2003 17:27 GMT | In reply to Comment 33 (Rat): > Elbox: So how can we register the copy of the program for our developer's
> use?
> Chris Hodges: You will get a free keyfile for your private use.
Private use != commercial development
This was before Elbox were found to put viruses in their drivers intended to do criminal damage. When the viruses were found Elbox' license was revoked.
Chris also has the right to revoke the license of any user found to have abused the terms of the license, such as passing copies of it to other people.
Chris has no obligation to support Mediator/Spider users whatsoever. His only obligation is to registered Poseidon users, and he has the right to grant or refuse licenses as he sees fit.
If you or Elbox don't like it that's tough. Get off your lazy backsides and write your own stack.
As for Elbox statements in the mailing list, I seem to recall them categorically stating that there were no trojans in their drivers. This means that they are quite prepared to tell outright lies when it suits them.
You keep claiming that Chris invalidated your keyfile. Why don't you tell us WHY he did this too (if indeed he invalidated it at all). |
