Uninstalling that program was the best thing you ever did. Never really liked pretenders.I had to uninstall DVDFab. Could not "turn it off (deactivate)" and just reboot. Apparently there is still something running even when it is off. But uninstalling is not a big deal.
I wouldn't be so sure of that & I myself will not buy the other guys stuff (something about Chinese food you eat it & 20 min later your hungry). Again I have no problem w/ a license transfer fee of 50 to 70 USD it's the 40/to 50 USD renewals that I can't see me doing as it's not financially feasible for as little as I use/used it. I would pay a 10 to 15 USD OPD maintenance fee if necessary though but that's about all for me.This is only concerning previous LTL holder's not whether or not they sell them again.
Please read my next to Last post on topic "addressing license concerns" don't know how to link to it sorryI use my AnyDVD HD on a regular basis, so it's worth the money to me. Of course in your case you don't use it as much so your point is valid as well. I will bet that many of the users on this forum will agree that they are willing to pay to re-instate their licenses and/or pay an annual renewal fee for the software. Many software companies will be doing this in the future. Look at Microsoft now with their office products. It is mainly subscription based. You can buy the software outright, but you don't get to upgrade to the latest for free. With a subscription to an office suite you can upgrade to the latest version as part of that subscription price.

You might find a service is running. It's been a while since I've looked at services with DVDFab, but I seem to recall one there. Those can be switched off, made manual, so they don't start until required hopefully, they usually do.I had to uninstall DVDFab. Could not "turn it off (deactivate)" and just reboot.
