FileWard ReviewDo NOT buy this product!!!!!! - Version: 1.1.3, 1/22/2009 10:08AM PST

versiontrackerblogg
Upon attempting to buy, I first emailed tech support and asked how many Macs you can run off one license purchase. Nothing. No response at all.
I emailed them again a week later. Nothing.
I then emailed their CEO. The email got kicked back as undeliverable.
I then called two separate phone numbers listed in NetworkSoulutions and both were answering machines in the middle of the business day. Both voice answers were "hello, leave a message." NOT what a real company would have, no?

You buy this software and you get ZERO support. If you're download goes bad, you have no recourse but a charge back with your CC company.

This is one of the most amateurish, hokey companies I have ever run across.

A lot of time and aggravation for nothing.
