Hello,
And it was a shame that Everyware sold to
Pervasive.
Well, if it wasn't for Pervasive, Tango turning out XML files wouldn't
be a reality today. Everyware may have done a great job in support, but the
top executives didn't know how to run the company to turn a
profit.
Neither did
Pervasive, hence why they sold it. Both companies couldn't make money with the
product.
The shame was that Pervasive raped their customers, and
left them out in the cold. I paid Pervasive $24,000 and some change for
an Enterprise license.
Yes, it was a hefty bill for the software. I also paid large amounts
for Tango product. However, I look at the money I've spent, and made, and it
was worth it.
All I get for that today is With telling me that they
won't support Tango, but I can't sell my license without their
permission. Okay, so I won't sell my license... but I will give it away
to anyone and everyone that asks.
Well,
unfortunately that's With Enterprises' rules. The reason why they don't want
you selling it is because they don't need the headaches of another client
asking why they can't upgrade to WiTango 5.5 from Tango 2000. With Enterprise
also owns the Tango 2000 technology, and they call the shots with old product
too. The only technology With didn't buy was the Tango 3
technology.
As far as giving
it away, that's not legal either. You don't own the software, you have a
license to use it. I believe that you need With's written permission to
transfer the license to someone else, but I'm not a corporate
lawyer.
As far as not
being able to contact Phil or Sophie, it is possible they may have taken a
much needed break. Their entire lives have been consumed by WiTango for the
past 3 years. I certainly hope nothing bad has happened to them, or anyone
within their organization. It would be nice to just know if they're
OK.
Remember one
thing ladies & gents:
Phil & Sophie
love the product as much as you do. And, they want to keep it going and going
as much as the rest of us. So, stop thinking the worst and have a little
faith!

Hey! As a former
EveryWare employee I must take offense at that remark. We did our best to
respond to users within 24 business hours and those that were paying
customers (as apposed to evaluation users) were given priority. However any
organization will have it's good days and bad ones. I just purchased a new
Palm and have been trying to get the Mac 4.1 desktop for two days now,
finally got it late last night.
And there have been other companies
that I've dealt with in recent months where I don't receive any response at
all. Makes me wonder if they even received my email or not.
I do
recall seeing a post a few weeks ago stating that Phil and Sophie were doing
a month long tour of North America. But I didn't think that they were taking
everyone with them.
Hope this helps,
Steve

I also sent an e-mail to them, asking
for what they had on
record for our keys so I could determine just
how many 5.5
licenses we could upgrade to free. I also have not heard
a response.

I sent an email to sales last Friday, about a
bad license #, and have
not hear a word. This makes me very
nervous.
