Confirming what I said in post #9. Thanks.a new version blacklists keys, when the internal database gets updated
Redfox will do no such thing. The only one that would, would be slysoft and they're dead. On top of that you always were able to install of on multiple machines, provided only 1 had anydvd active at a time. Now that slysoft is dead, 'go nuts'. And disable the version check setting and you won't get prompted anymore either to update.

Perhaps you may have missed it. No Redfox team member has commented on your questions.I assume from what I have read that the Redfox team are happy for me to treat the SlySoft version of AnyDVD HD as freeware and that I can safely install it using a single key on my all my own, friends and family machines without any monitoring of the use of my key. Can I assume that you, Ch3vr0n, speak on behalf of Redfox when you suggest that I can safely "go nuts" with the dead SlySoft product?
Obviously, if I do ever feel the need to upgrade to the Redfox version of the software I will keep that key to myself, not give it away to friends and family, and run it on only one machine at a time.
Thanks to all who have replied, you have put my mind at rest.
I have a copy of the now defunct Slysoft product. I ask because my copy of the Slysoft product still suggests upgrading to the Redfox version 8 product. This means that it is for some reason still in contact with the servers of Redfox. I have no idea why the old software is in contact with the new company at all. I can see no reason why Redfox, as a completely new and separate company would do this
However, you got your license from slysoft . Since they're dead. The slysoft database is offline just like they are.
I don't feel this has been answered with a good answer .
I'm using AnyDVD HD version 7.6.8.0 the last fully written slysoft version.
1. Why should I have to uncheck ""Automatically check for new AnyDVD Version" to prevent being offered a redfox written version of AnyDVD HD ?
As above why doesn't the slysoft version of AnyDVD HD I have just try to connect with the offline slysoft database & get a "Can not connect or not found message" ?
Why is there a redirect ? I assume a redirect put in place by redfox .
What right does redfox have to put a redirect on the old slysoft web address ?
Most slysoft LTL holders know about redfox & how to contact them if they want to purchase AnyDVD HD from redfox.
I shouldn't need to uncheck anything to prevent a slysoft product from contacting redfox.
Of course I do keep this setting unchecked as I don't want to be bothered .
The point is I shouldn't have to be bothered with what actually amounts to an advertisement from redfox.
That's because the update to 7.6.9.5 was made by Redfox after Slysoft went down but still pointed to the Slysoft OPD as the Slysoft OPD was still online at that point. It's over a year later and you're still whining on with your unfounded conspiracy theories
it's very interesting that 7.6.9.5/the SlySoft version tries to auto-update to a version of the software provided by an entirely different entity (because it's NOT a company you kn0w )...curious that.
most likely the old update domain has just been linked/directed to the same place as RedFox to check for updates (so people know AnyDVD is still available)
Preach!!Whether "sinister" or not;
Whether redfox.bz is a closed source project , business , or company .
No whining .
What I want is for redfox.bz to find the source of the redirect & stop it.
My slysoft version of AnyDVD HD should not redirect or in any way connect to redfox.bz .
No matter what settings I make in it.
If it is an "old update domain" that is linked this should be fixed .
If as stated redfox.bz is completely separate from slysoft . Then fix this & make the separation complete.
What I want is for redfox.bz to find the source of the redirect & stop it.
My slysoft version of AnyDVD HD should not redirect or in any way connect to redfox.bz .
With all due respect, that is not quite true. Yes, AnyDVD does not phone home when registering the license, and a check is done within the software itself, but if an internet connection is available when AnyDVD is open, it does occasionally phone home to check if the key that is being used has been blacklisted. If it has been, then the activation gets deactivated.AnyDVD does NOT call home for registration verification. You feed it the registration file, anydvd itself checks if it's valid and if so, applies it. No more, no less. As i said, the only ones that could have blacklisted the key (in a new anydvd version) for using on too much pc's would have been Slysoft, and their dead. RedFox will do no such thing
It must be a combination of both then because I know what I said to be true.No it doesn't, blacklisted keys gets done through new AnyDVD versions
