Now this is just getting childish. Good on you... A lot out of context I would think.
The product website has not changed other than changing the map dates and the addition of the no free updates included since April 2010 when we also slashed about $100 from the price from memory to compensate.
The email sent you Jon (which is sent to all clients) has the following;

Again, I can't make people read it. If the assumption that we had no Terms is to be believed, then why would we have 2 links to the relevant pages in the email sent to you with your activation codes? Kind of pointless having blank web pages.
So again, I am quite shocked to say we misled anyone.. The EULA and Info page has NOT changed and was displayed.
Here is an extract from our Registration server for the user involved, it shows the EULA was displayed to the user, and then he clicked Accept. Again, I can't make people read it, but an assumption is made that you did read it since you clicked "I Agree". I hope we will not be accused now of faking a log file!

Jon with all due respect;
Point 3: The warnings were there and to accuse us of lying is slanderous.
Point 4: There is no industry standard, there are only company standards in regards to licensing. We are upfront about it, and any assertion we hide it just an insult to our integrity.
Point 5: I have already advised you by email that the HDD change was the cause. RAM and CPU changes WILL NOT affect the license. I think know how your problem came about. You installed your OS first then did the re-image. This does NOT restore one vital part of your install, and even Windows *MAY* have complained that it was not activated and required re-activation as we both read the same bit of info from the hardware.
Point 6: Am I a little slow on the uptake, here? I am sure I said; "if any client does have planned HDD or OS change coming up, then all they have to do......", I did not say "Planned Breakdowns", I agree that is just stupid, who plans a
breakdown?
As for not putting a PC online, I am an IT consultant and have some very VIP clients, including a Consulate Generals office. I take my work and activities performed very seriously and with the utmost privacy and security in mind. I am seriously not interested in what websites you visit, or any of your other personal data, I have much more important things to worry about, like my dear baby son.
I just want you to be happy with our very low cost, simple to use product and get any issues rectified. The offer is still there, pop the laptop online and let me access the old and new HDD and I'll get it sorted for you. I will even throw in a FREE map update released in Nov.
We know we can't please everybody, we do try our hardest, and do make lots of concessions.
I don't want to argue with all of you, it is the way it is.. If you would prefer a perpetual License, I can offer that to you at a much higher price.
We have not and will never lie or deceive customers, and we abide by all state and federal laws. Just because we are different you want to persecute us? If you don't like our terms, that is your choice. Its not wrong, just different.
