Re: New GDT  (Australia)

Hello Dominique,

There's no set schedule for the current version of GDT. I'm planning on the iPhone/iPad version first, then getting on to the Mac version. Most likely I'll do a minor release between those for the Windows version.

As for the current registration key, please see my officially unofficial upgrade policy here. The long & short is that I try to keep upgrades free, but can't make promises. Upgrades so far have all been free. Cross fingers, knock on wood, etc. etc.

I hope that's helpful.

Cheers,

Ryan

Re: New GDT  (United States)

Well, first of all I like your unofficial official policy. Working in the world of software I understand where you're coming from. I've gotten more clients by showing them out of the box solutions (eliminating my or anyone else's maintenance costs).

That being said, I would be willing to pay for major versions. Having a policy stating that you may charge for major version upgrades, would give you an "out" so you wouldn't have to charge, but could -- and not feel guilty about it. Then you could go along your merry way and if you had a major version upgrade to offer you could announce it as free or paid and it's fit into your policy. But I guess that's what you current unofficial policy is doing -- it just doesn't give any sort of expectancy. I'd rather expect to pay and then be pleasantly surprised by a free upgrade, than expecting a free one and be surprised by a required payment.

Just some more food for thought! ;)

I know... I've talked to a lot of people, and everyone says I'm nuts and that I should be charging no matter what.

I've been thinking it over periodically over the last while, and I think that I will end up going the route that you've suggested. But, I'll be leaving that until I revamp a few other things first.
