FUGAWI DO NOT BUY IT!!!
Hi,
I have been in touch with them and they will NOT permit the software to be used on more than two computers, That is from their support spokesperson. Kristina Menalo. As it happened the hard drive on one of the laptops gave up the ghost and I asked for another code to load onto the PC as it is faster. There was quite a hullabaloo about that but I was granted the access to load it onto the home PC. I like to have software on two laptops when travelling on the boat, offers a certain amount of redunancy. I am still mad about the fact that I feel I was conned. I want to use the software wherever I like and have no restrictions. That does not mean I am going to go around the bloody marina and distribute it for free to all and sundry. Oliver Fleming "Howard Peer" wrote in message ervers.com... Interesting, I had a different experience. I found I could only load it on two machines also. But, I called the company and they said "Hey no problem just call us when you want to add more copies and we will give you the access code." Right now I have the software on three machines. Two laptops and my desktop at home. If you have not called it might be worth the effort. I would be curious to see if they have changed their policy.

These people produce Navigation Software, however in their advertising they do not state that they limit the installations to 2 machines. Had I known of this limitation I would not have purchased the software. This is what is known as in my country as "sharp practice" and can lead to heavy fines and Jail time.It is difficult to change from machine to machine if required. Even a reformat of the hard drive and re-installation requires a phone call or internet connection. Not always possible if one is in a remote area. Also response is slow and hampered by stupid non relevant questions. The program is also buggy and not yet of merchantable quality, some features as in the instructions do not work. I have no quarrel with a company who wishes to limit the use of the software, however this should be made plain in the advertising hype. Oliver Fleming A request for a RMA for return of the software is ignored with no explanation. Buy it and regret with leisure. Oliver Fleming |
