Hi,
I find myself in the same boat but to present a different perspective, I feel that we need to support the AwareIM development team in their efforts. It is our maintenance fees and new sales that will ensure that AwareIM continues to survive financially and allow them to further improve the product. In my mind, the quality of the support alone is worth the money.
I would ask the question though whether the renewal of my license is active for 12 months from when it expired or from the date that I pay the fee?
Well, I am off now to try and find $750.
Cheers,
Pete
