More than that, I expect a respected company to first invest in bug fixing before offering added features to a new version.

I believe that even for their logic they can not claim that a customer that purchased a legal copy should have to live the rest of the software life with a crippled, bug filled copy.

Then they should offer FREE bug fixing (without so called added feature) upgrades. Secondly, if they feel that only paying-maintenance customers are entitled to upgrades that include feature improvements. The current maintenance release, M020, will be made available to Single User customers to downloadįirst, if they say that customers suggest improvements, this includes ALL CUSTOMERS not only those with paying-maintenance. In a change to our previously stated policy, only those customers who are active maintenance-paying customers will be entitled to the latest releases at no additional charge. Therefore, we provide those improvements to everyone who invests in support. Our customers' collective investment in a software product results in technology and support improvements for all customers. In this article the claim the following: ". In my previous post I added the link to "MATHCAD 14.0 MAINTENANCE RELEASE M020 ENTITLEMENT NOTICE". Roberto Sanabria RE: M020 release conditions I'm not sure how the dual processor would respond to that, but it would sure be a foolish "fix" anyhow. My choices now are, (1) attempt to use Mathcad on my comatose Toshiba Satellite laptop (only wakes up when it feels like it), or (2) give my new HP Pavilion an enema and replace the Vista OS with XP. I'll be a sonovagun if I'm going to give PTC another penny. This is nothing but a classic case of "no good deed goes unpunished". Hey, I guess I should've stuck to ripping off my employer's copy. Half the pages I try to access on their website require some kind of service agreement. PTC is the devil, they deserve all the class action lawsuits that could possibly rain on them, and this from a laissez faire libertarian, don't get me wrong on that account. That explains the hard sell from PTC, spamming me about getting the 14 release for yet another couple of hundred dollars (at last call). I'm a decades old Mathcad user that thought it was the best thing sinces sliced bread and now feel raped after spending my very own hundreds of dollars on the 13 release only to find out that it won't work on my recently upgraded laptop, a 4 GB RAM, 64-bit Vista laptop beast (believe it or not, it was less than $700, after sales tax, in Tenn no less!!). This can be beneficial to other community members reading this thread.I just want to chime in, because the forum closed the previous anti-Mathcad/PTC post, the one regarding incompatibility between M'Cad 13 and the 64-bit Vista OS (Re: thread552-193152: Is Mathcad 13 compatible with Vista?).
