John_R Posted February 13, 2022 Report Share Posted February 13, 2022 Hey All.. Did I miss some big change to Vision software? I installed 9.8.94 a couple days ago (just to check out the newer Servo FB's), and this morning I was surprised with a pop-up stating this was a trial version, and I had 27 days to register for an activation code or the software would be crippled (in so many words)... Is there a new philosophy to Uni's software distribution? I was a bit taken aback by some of the required registration info; Company Name? hey, I'm retired and just keeping my mind busy... Phone Number? really, I'm gonna post my phone online... I get too many spam/scam calls already... Full Address? I can see giving general location for demographics, but again, enough spam/scam mail... Does anyone else take issue to this, or am I just being fussy? JohnR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All version above 9.8.65 require activation. Activation is free, but some info must be sended to Unitronics. I do not know why it was needed but i think it embeded by request of lawmakers. But maybe i am wrong... Some new security changes is appear in new version Unilogic software and Unistream firmware also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_R Posted February 13, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2022 well I guess that shows how long it's been since I last updated, 9.8.65 is what I've been using for quite a while... like we always say, don't upgrade just because you can, but I wanted to check out some newer FB's so I installed the latest... luckily I do my installs the "Flex Way", with Swapper pointing to virgin copies of each version... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
