Dude, really? The software DID "cease to exist". The developers (yes the core is the same) picked up the pieces and on their own, have continued development. That to me is far better then AnyDVD's demise.
Slysoft licenses ended because RedFox wanted them to end. They were clearly capable of providing license continuity, as evidenced by the other products they continue to develop. But rather than honor a lifetime license agreement that customers had paid for, they decided to invalidate it, and require another $120 to reinstate that "lifetime" license.
It is quite obvious that no matter the circumstances, no matter the reasoning, you aren't ever going to move on. You have the right to your opinion, but the incessant griping is getting very old. Nothing is going to change. You don't like it, fine, you made that clear. You don't want to buy it, fine, you made that clear. But to continually complain and gripe has absolutely no purpose, other than to be an irritant.
It serves the purpose of letting the developers know what a bad decision they've made, and how they've lost a long-time customer.
How have they 'lost' a customer? As you aren't prepared to pay for a new Redfox licence they haven't lost anything as they get no money from the old Slysoft licenses which they need to keep the online servers running.
Unless you can establish that RedFox is the legal successor to Slysoft I think you are wasting our time. My recollection is that in setting up the RedFox project every effort was
@Yraen2 no lifetime was the initial plan. However the community asked in abundance for redfox to offer lifetime, so they did. If that's 'not giving a rat's ass' about their customers as someone else had recently posted, then I don't know what is :-D
Oh and zamboni, good luck with your lawsuit. If you can find slysoft, redfox is going to be even harder with no central location.
Same here and now have 2 RedFox lifetime....I still have the old Slysoft lifetime and will keep that still.I had 2 lifetime Slysoft AnyDVD HD licenses. It disturbed me that Slysoft went under, but I was elated that Redfox took over the project. Those of us who really use AnyDVD HD could care less that we had to pay again for Redfox licenses. We are just happy that we have the opportunity to do so. Thank you Redfox. I hope you stay around for many years to come.
And this is the sentiment of most of the community . After the shock of the closure of Slysoft sets in. And the alternative is seen. Afterwards it makes me even happier that RedFox RESURRECTED AnyDVDHD from the depths of nothingness. Because nothing is what I would have without it. As there is NO alternative.I had 2 lifetime Slysoft AnyDVD HD licenses. It disturbed me that Slysoft went under, but I was elated that Redfox took over the project. Those of us who really use AnyDVD HD could care less that we had to pay again for Redfox licenses. We are just happy that we have the opportunity to do so. Thank you Redfox. I hope you stay around for many years to come.
Then just don't buy a new license.
That would be the extent of the old version but I keep it on another Windows 7 machines if I didn't get RedFox license. Even when 7 is no longer supported I will keep it running Offline with Anydvd to backup DVD with the latest version of RedFox install just to keep it going. But then again when a newer Windows comes out I just reload it onto that Windows and keep going.Have 2 Lifetime Redfox licenses as well. I also still have my Lifetime Slysoft licenses. One is running on an old XP machine. I rip DVD titles frequently without issue.
