[QUOTE="gorblimey, post: 1072656, member: 65556"] G'day all, Dan. I've got a small problem, getting closer by the day, and I hope Dan can remediate it. Most software comes with non-compulsory upgrade options, normally tied to annual or "new version" premiums. I find this very reasonable as it enables me to find a version which meets my needs and then I stop upgrading. This also ties in with the ageing of my current OS, Win7 x64 SP1. I have a lot of "current-ish" applications where I have stopped upgrading simply because the upgrades do not provide functionality I can use, or need. (Actually, my OS is in this category as well: Microsoft ceased providing appropriate functionality.) Not being rude or anything, but Cyberlock has reached this state. The original premise was, and still is, "[I]If it's not on the whitelist, it won't run.[/I]" OTOH, needed technology (.NET) upgrades will not run on my OS. I've looked. I made W2K Pro last for decades by simply downloading vcredists which I still do now, my current is 14.38.33130. But I cannot upgrade my dotNET. v8.1 won't won't fit as far as I can understand M$ documentation. I am not the only Win7 neanderthal here. We simply want to keep an OS that does what we want, when we want, how we want, nothing less and nothing more. Not like a certain Microsoft (Bad)XPerience. Dan, you could help us neanderthals a lot, by forgoing the compulsory Christmas Upgrade. I cannot ask you to cease upgrading the dotNET requirement, that would be stupid. But if you could make CL upgrades non-compulsory, that would be very helpful. I won't ask you to cease charging us, you need to pay bills as much as I do, and the fact is that CL will be working properly at least up to the end of this century, even with no upgrades. Your technology is future-proof. [/QUOTE]
