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 53 of 94 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Ferry on 22-Jul-2003 09:06 GMT | In reply to Comment 42 (Rat): Hi all.
R> Elbox is the only company offering USB 2.0 hardware for Amiga. Elbox supports not only Amiga, but also Amithlon.
Elbox supports Elbox, at least regarding USB. There are many PCI USB 2.0 solutions widely available, but they won't work in Elbox PCI busboard. So you buy a PCI busboard in order to have more choices, but you can't choose because Elbox policy.
Hey, nothing wrong about this, if you like it you buy it, if no, you don't, but it's at least, not very 'user friendly', IMHO...
Regarding your keyfiles, I remember this:

AFAIK, nobody can force a software publisher to deliver free updates, unless it is written in the license agreement. If so, you could make a complaint to the corresponding authorities. But if it is not stated, there isn't even an obligation to refund you the money: you got what you paid for...
Saluditos,
Ferrán. |
