Reducing the price for people that already own SMSQ/E was a service from us to the customers, not a necessity. And please not forget that it's only 10 EUR we're talking about. AND that they are specifically charging more than that (10 pounds) for SMSQ/E. > Now if TT (or somebody else) shows me an SMSQ/E with meta drivers, > memory protection, embeded microGui etc.. Nothing of that was promised. Most platforms don't even have memory protection, besides that fact that many almost all QL software rely on the fact that there is none. > Now on what's LEGAL, Wolfgang is absolutely right, provided > that SMSQ/E is a NEW product which after some thought I > don't think it is... just an upgrade... We all have been > operating under that assumption else many QPC sales > wouldn't be possible right? Wrong. Under the new licence 10 EUR are paid for every new QPC sold, whether the owner has already SMSQ/E or not. Upgrades from older versions of course don't include the fee. Marcel
