Granted it is a good program but it an optional offering and I find their demanding we all buy it over again is a bit much. The middleman is gone and now we are all supposed to pony up all over again, I think not. Below is the email I sent them regarding their stance, perhaps if enough people speak up they may rethink their attitude.

Gentlemen;

I find your unwillingness to honor any past support for your product under C&G to be totally unacceptable and will no longer use your products or recommend them to my network of clients and consultants. Having paid for and registered previous versions only to be told that now with the middleman gone you want full price reminds me of the likes of Microsoft. The difference is they have a monopoly on the market for now and thus they can get away with it for a while longer until Linux catches up due to customers defecting. You on the other hand do not have a monopoly and your product is not that much in demand. Good luck.
