Sadly this is my biggest fear with DxO.
A users copy of the product will then only last as long as the activation servers’ bills are paid.
DxO should ensure that a code can be given to all licensed users to ensure all licensed copies can be activated permanently before their activation servers go offline, sorry if their activation servers go offline.
While I understand the concerns of DxO to protect their intellectual property I resent DxO making their users, the ones who provide the revenue to pay their (DxO) bills having their lives complicated and potentially their livelihoods threatened by their (Dxo)response to such threats.
DxO have an issue so they threaten retaliation on their loyal users , how constructive is that!
It may be just a piece of software and in many areas (way) behind other products but I happen to like the way that is works and specifically chose it above other products.
