WinZip purchase agreement
-
Please limit yourself to the topic; I don't care about other zip programs. When I purchased my license for WinZip 6.0, I recall it saying that all future upgrades would be free. Does anyone know how to access Google archives to find that statement? Anyone who thinks he has a better idea of what's good for people than people do is a swine. - P.J. O'Rourke

You could try the Internet Archive[^] OT: It is still true isn't it? "Download the WinZip 9.0 SR-1 Upgrade Free upgrade for registered users: All registered users of earlier English-language versions of WinZip are eligible to download a FREE upgrade to WinZip 9.0 SR-1. " Winzip Upgrade[^]

yes the upgrade to 9.0 is free according to their website but, the upgrade to 10.0 will not be free. From their website[^]: Once released, the Standard version of WinZip 10.0 will cost $29.95, WinZip 10.0 Pro will be $49.95. Existing registered single-users will be able to upgrade to WinZip 10.0 Standard for only $14.95 and to WinZip 10.0 Pro for only $24.95. Proof of purchase will be required.

Attractive multi-user license pricing is available." Right. Like I have proof-of-purchase for the WinZip 7.0 registration I bought some time in 1997 (I think!) My registration code is written on the same piece of paper as my first ISP login details - an ISP I dumped after about a week as they were horribly unreliable, after which I joined my current ISP. I'm quite surprised I still have it. I can't really see anything in 10.0 that is a useful improvement over 9.0 SR-1. I don't think I'll upgrade. Until I read the release notes for 10.0 beta I didn't know 9.0 could unzip bzip2 format files! Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder

I think they have a way to get out of any previous statements such as this. The 10.0 version is broken down into two apps - standard and professional. Since they aren't technically labeled the same as the 9.0 and earlier version, I think the lawyers will say that they can charge for version 10.0. I'm not a lawyer myself though.

I actually tried to find my proof of purchase last night and couldn't. Of course, all it was was a printout, which could be phonied up quite easily. Truthfully, I was quite satisified with WinZip 6.3. Were in not for the free upgrades, I wouldn't have bothered. The only reason I still use it is fractionally better control I have over XPs built in functionality. Still, I'm quite annoyed on principle. On the other hand, Nico Mak is going to end up in court and we'll all get vouchers for $15 in a few years (and the lawyers will get a check for $10 million.)
