A tale of one upgrade - This will blow your socks off!

OMG. They are threatening legal action on me. lol This is a tale about one little request for component updates that has found the company threatening legal action on me. It is hilarious in the extreme. I have attached the thread of the e-mails for you purusal. Names have been edited to protect the guilty. I dont need a frivalous libel suit. Some context: I am one of the little guys. Single Developer, own small business, a few clients. I need a barcoding component and shop around until I locate a barcode component supplier (lets call them SleaseSoft) which have a component that I can distribute Barcode components to multiple end-users without needing an additional license for each end-user. I buy it about a year ago at a promotional price and I make a simple request to get current binaries as they cant be downloaded from the site.

So basically in their words I violate the terms of their agreement by developing applications with their component? What am I supposed to use it for? a paperweight? Am I out of line?

No that was never in their terms. Nor is it in the current terms as best I can tell. Thats what amazes me. It is a Windows Component that allows you to print barcodes. If you cant incorporate it into a Custom Application then what the heck am I supposed to do with it?

From my experiences with them it sounds like he was dealing with ComponentOne. For incompetent support accept no substitute.
Nope, But I agree with your assessment of C1's support. But in their defense they do have a select few support staff that are very good. Bernardo de Castilho in the Reports forum Michael Eisenstein in the C1Data (but that was a long time ago - he doesnt do it anymore as best I can tell) But there is always a few good apples in every rotten barrel (or did i get that mixed up)..

For barcoding I spent quite a bit of time looking for suppliers because I dont have a large budget and many are very expensive. One that I found and tried (but didnt purchase - I went with sleasesoft) was NeoDynamics. However they seem reasonably okay pricewise and product wise but I didnt check their license too closely. They were only a little more expensive than sleasesoft. In either case with Barcoding it is important to know that there are Barcode Fonts and Barcode Vectors. For individual barcoding Vectors are fine but I found that trying to print an entire sheet (40 or so consecutive barcodes on a label sheet) of Vector based Barcodes took minutes to print whereas the Fonts took seconds.

Thats interesting. I bought a single Developer license, 100% sure of it, even if their e-mail at the bottom indicates User license. My (original) interpretation is that a single Developer license allows one user (me the developer) to use it on one CPU. and royalty free distribute it up to 10000 users. Reading it more carefully it is easy to miss the words User "License". At the time I bought the software they did not have a "User License". It is on the website now but it is flagged as a "NEW" product. Also there were no terms supplied with the product download so it is impossible to say what the actual license was when it was purchased. I do know however that the website order page changed from the date of my original order. Essentially what it means (based on current terms) is that I am licensed but my client may not be. Thanks for the insight. D. -- modified at 14:07 Friday 2nd December, 2005

I understand. But it is all a matter of interpretation. As a couple people pointed out, the User license and Developer License is a important point. I believe 100% that I purchased the correct version of the software and that the company is in error but assuredly they would feel the exact way at their end. If I am in error I dont want to compound the problem by hurting their reputation. It certainly would not be my intent. In either case they could have dealt with this item so much more tactfully. D.
