Advice Request Will HitmanPro have an Xmas or Boxing Day Deal?

[Hangtooth]

Grats to the devs on being picked up by Sophos, that's great news and I am glad you are being recognized for your efforts.

Selfish question I know, but as the days of my trial of HitmanPro tick towards the end, I am wondering if there might be a HitmanPro sale/deal this holiday season?

I would guess normally there would be, but since they have been purchased by Sophos, I am guessing all bets are off and I don't know if I even were to buy HitmanPro today the money would go to the original devs or Sophos.

Any guesses or actual info? I know they had a Black Friday sale I missed where they offered 2 years for the price of 1. Just not sure if they will be freely available to even have a sale or if they must consult their new corporate overlords =)

Great product, just trying to avoid buying 2 licenses the day before it goes on sale!

I don't think they had a Black Friday sale this year. Rather they had a Halloween sale. I hope they will have a Christmas or New Year's sale. Anybody in the know, please inform us!

It looks from another thread like I'm indeed wrong about no BF sale. I don't understand, because I thought I went to their website at that time and found nothing.

Not sure if there will be a Xmas deal. Last year I check there was a Hitman Pro giveaway here at MT happens around December.

I wish there was a good sale too. However, I am very happy for the developers Erik and Mark for their talent and recent acquisition. If you ever followed some of their research (YouTube/Wilders,etc), you would see that their product helps make the internet just a bit safer, one PC at a time.

Congratulations to them.

So they post on Wilder's? Good for them. They ought to come and post here on Malware Tips too!

I just noticed too that starting next year, HMPA and HMP will have separate licenses.

From Erik Loman: "This means that there will be separate licenses next year. Of course, every license bought this year will remain working on both products!"

Now I really want to grab a couple licenses before the year end!

"We will continue to offer the “free scan” feature of HitmanPro. And Sophos will honor the terms and conditions of all existing SurfRight licenses, including any special promotions or deals. The support forums and services that customers use today will continue. And as we integrate the products into the Sophos Support Community to enhance customer experience, we will do so seamlessly, so no user is left behind." (Dan Schiappa | Sophos Blog)

Thank you very much for alerting us to this, pal!

I wonder what happens to Kickstart next year. It was the part of a three-part package.
