I've lost out on having purchased a lifetime license also... my question is... with all of the "back and forth" on the lifetime license issue, IFFFff it WAS true, that to honor slysoft keys, would open you up to some legality which could quickly spell a repeat of history, then it would be prudent not to honor them... BUT !!!!!! since you HAVE NOT STATED THAT at this juncture.... the specter of, "taking advantage of your customer base, because of YOUR BAD LUCK", is a rather dubious appearance, which you CANNOT ESCAPE AT THIS point !!!!
In addition... since RedFox, is a "sister" company... to GARNER business, you MIGHT want to consider enticing SlySofts FORMER customers, who purchased "lifetime" licenses, a handy and tidy deal of like... oh let's say... $10 ??? ... how many MILLIONS of former SlySoft customers would that be ??? ... QUITE A REDONCULAS SUM OF INSTANT INCOME, which would CERTAINLY cover ALL EXPENSES that "starting up your (new) business" could POSSIBLY have cost you !!!! ... and of course, the poor SOB's who WERE SlySoft, are just out in the cold, when it comes to their legal bills, and other "business related" "losses"... but THAT'S not YOUR problem... now IS IT ???? ... so ponder how your short sighted greed, might be costing you in the very short term, not to mention, the long !!! ... of course... those who paid the full current price, but WOULD be eligible for the discount structure mentioned above, BETTER GET A REFUND OF THE DIFFERENCE IN PRICE, should you decide to go that route, for fear of a SIMILAR round of appearing to be "opportunists/shysters/people of low integrity" if you DIDN'T... any thinking person understands that SlySoft is gone... defunked... persona non grata... but a SMART businessman, knows HOW to make a silk purse, out of a sows ear... sooo... under the circumstances(which we ALL KNOW what they are), not doing as much as you CAN, to promote your "fledgling" business, is LESS than intelligent, and if the "ire" of the customers of your former sister company, turn their back on you because they are of a similar collective mind(which this thread tends to bear out), and feel/think/BELIEVE, that you are punishing THEM, for SlySoft's misfortune, then the proverbial "writing on the wall", is at hand !!!
Good luck, and good day !!!!
