I think I get it. If I have 7.6.9.5 it will continue to work on my pile of videos, most of which are not new releases, even after April 30, 2016, but I will not be able to get any new updates for new protections?
Is that it?
When I run into a wall and can't get a disk I want to work, the most obvious thing is to do an update. But, after April 30, it will require a new license through Red Fox. I hope I'm understanding that.
THANK YOU - this is exactly the same question I have been trying to find an answer to!!!! And it seems nearly answered, albeit with a few more posts to get there…
I've been using AnyDVD HD for several years and recently renewed with the lifetime option - and the impossibility of finding the simple answer to this question is irritating and exacerbated by the frequent references to the very long and oblique thread that IMHO is relatively useless. Most people here have an existing and active AnyDVD HD license - I'm not complaining about the financial situation presuming some accommodation to recently purchased licenses and a reasonable ongoing subscription model - that is software support reality.
I don't have time to root around through double-talk. I realize developers may not be much on communications but this isn't rocket science either. I have several SlySoft products and questions - to keep it simple I'll only ask AnyDVD HD questions:
I am on AnyDVD HD 7.6.9.0 right now:
- What happens on 5/1/2016 if I leave that in place?
--Will it stop working immediately? Will BD's stop working? Will DVD's stop working? Will it continue to work as long as a BD doesn't require access the OPD database?
One simple, complete answer listed in a 'AnyDVD HD - RedFox FAQ' would satisfy.
If I upgrade to AnyDVD HD 7.6.9.5 and do not purchase/upgrade further:
- What happens on 5/1/2016 - I'm thinking access to the OPD is no longer available - and that means that any BD+ disc will not be handled - even if it is a relatively old BD. Unless I have previously ripped the BD and the information is cached locally? If it is not a BD+ disc, old or new, it will still work??
Similar to Wallcloud, my initial intent would be to continue ripping older BDs and subscribe to RedFox within a few months - this seems dependent on the BD protection method BD+; I think I read Java somewhere to - I'm not going to waste my time looking for it; this too should be in a simple FAQ.
If I don't purchase the RedFox license by 4/30/2016, will this impact whatever accommodation is being determined for existing SlySoft licensees?? Of course this presumes the pricing and accommodation has been determined by then.
Again, just tell us all the facts regarding functionality so we can make informed decisions about if and when I’ll purchase a RedFox subscription. Tell us when you expect pricing and license accommodations.
Personally I’d like to keep ripping DVD’s without buying a new subscription until there is a comfort level this new organization will succeed – I purchased my lifetime license in September 2015 so less than a year’s use. I don’t mind buying into a new model, I just don’t want to buy a year’s subscription and then have RedFox fold in a couple of months!!
Sorry if that’s harsh, but the level of confusion and lack of clarity going on here is somewhat disturbing. Please put up a simple FAQ so others don’t have to sort through the BS that Wallcloud and I have!!!
