Trial period expired - TB! blocked
Dear TUBDL listers, I am now in a kafkaeske quandary: About 10 days ago, a couple of days before the initial 30 days trial period expired, I went to the site and BOUGHT the CD full version of the TB! 1.61. It cost me US55.- plus shipping, thank you. On day 30 TB! "yelled at me" that the trial period was finished, would I want an extra extension of 7 days' evaluation? I obviusly said yes, hoping to get the stuff by then. Well, the 7 days are up, TB! will refuse to open unless I register, but - predictably - it asks me for ID nos. I do not have yet, as I have not yet received the package. I have NO desire to go and pay an additional US$35 for an online registration, and yet I cannot even READ my previous mail now. How do you think I can get out of this mess? Needless to say, I'm back to OE6 now... Please help!

Additionally you could drop a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], explain your situation, what e-mail-address you used to order/register and how to solve this problem; they might be able to help you quickly or describe what actions are necessary. -- Regards Peter Palmreuther (The Bat! v1.62/Beta1 on Windows 2000 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 2) Artifical Intelligence is no match for natural Stupidity.

Hi Peter, You could first try to contact the distributor you ordered the CD at and ask about the state of your order. The distributor was cifnet, the only one showing on the TB! site. I sent them an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED], no response yet. Trouble is, that not having their order no., I don't know how they can trace me Additionally you could drop a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], explain your situation, what e-mail-address you used to order/register and how to solve this problem; they might be able to help you quickly or describe what actions are necessary. Same here: how can I prove I'm saying the truth, if I don't have the order data? I don't even remember what credit card I've used (I've got 6 of them, and the statements haven't come in yet)! Somebody suggested I go to a cracker's site to find the patch around it: besides my feeling very uncomfortable with the idea, I don't even know what file to look for, nor do I know if this won't cause me problems when I finally install the CD version of it... All advice is welcome. TIA Joyce -- Regards Peter Palmreuther (The Bat! v1.62/Beta1 on Windows 2000 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 2) Artifical Intelligence is no match for natural Stupidity.

Hi, If you can solve your problem with the information of emails that you think you can't access anymore, you simply open the Messages.tbb file (in the Inbox or Outbox folder of your mail account) with a common text viewer (TextPad, Notepad, the internal viewer of Windows Commander, and maybe even Windows Explorer). -- Kind regards, Heijo Current version is 1.61 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Hi Britt, JS About 10 days ago, a couple of days before the initial 30 days trial period expired, I JS went to the site and BOUGHT the CD full version of the TB! 1.61. There is a thing I don't understand here. Are you sure that it is the version 1.61 in the boxed version? It used to be 1.49. Yes, I'm pretty sure. though I might possibly be wrong. I remember looking for the most updated version coming in a box. But then again... if I could read my mail But now I in the site that it is not specified:( Joyce Current version is 1.61 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

JS Well, the 7 days are up, TB! will refuse to open unless I register, Try sending a message to Ritlabs and ask them nicely for another extension. I don't know whether it is technically possible, but it is worth a try. Also, coming from the freight forwarding business, I would ask the people from who you bought the boxed version how they sent it. If they sent it by courier (FedEx, DHL, UPS or the like), there is a shipment tracking number which you should ask for. With this number you can trace the shipment on the internet, or I can do that for you if you send me the tracking number (and the name of courier company they used). If the box is about to arrive today, there is no need to panic. ;-) -- Cheers, Thomas. Moderator der deutschen The Bat! Beginner Liste.

I sent them an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED], no response yet. I had similar experience with cifnet where my online order was not filled for couple of weeks. And no response for several enquiring emails. It is, however, promptly handled once I called cifnet. It turns out that my order was red-flagged because I am using a foreign (non-US) credit card. So forget about email, give them a call;-) -- Regards, Anthony Current version is 1.61 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
