Can anyone figure out how to activate the 3.0.1 upgrade?

The activation process is like a poorly planned marathon race with way too many hurdles to jump (license code, challenge question, registration at the site, encrypted codes, and on and on). After multiple failed attempts to register an account just to get the answer to the challenge question, despair set in and I finally gave up.

Why make it so difficult (or seemingly impossible)?

Still mission impossible, even after converting the Version Tracker Buyer E-mail account to a new one. Purchasing an upgrade seems to be impossible too! Reinstalling the older version 2.5.8 back requires again activation and refuses it by both copypasted options, Version Tracker and new created buyer-account/licence code. Well, I think it's a matter of a few days and everything will work properly. I trust in Koingo's supporters, they already helped me quick once I had problems with the applications. I submitted a ticket to the tech support, and I'm sure they'll soon reply.
Let's be patient and enjoy the weekend!

After posting this comment, I sent email requests to Koingo for assistance activating Mac Pilot 3, registering an account at Koingo’s web site and an adjustment for overpayment for the upgrade.

Josh at Koingo responded immediately by fulfilling all three requests.

VERY IMPRESSIVE! THANKS, JOSH.

YES it is a long task to register involving 3 or 4 different pages. Furthermore the upgrade is falsely quoted $9. while it is actually closer to $10. at $ 9.95 on Koingo Software post or 4/26/2008. To top it all, they have their own interpretation of what an upgrade is versus an update. Those who purchased 1.1.1 and applied updates to 2.5.8 with the original reg. number do not seem to be considered eligible to the upgrade. At least through Usenet forums. What's one or a few bucks worth to 1 person if we sell 500 or 50,000 new software pieces.

The price is low, and they would probably say it sells for only $19 while the actual cost is $19.95 PLUS (+) a $2.00 fee for registering through other than Kagi or Paypall way. (which is apparently not used for payment by all).

So, in the end, the buyer's cost which would most likely apply to both would be $11.95 and $21.95

As some mentioned it is low cost, as most shareware is. BUT is it not fair to have a buyer know EXACTLY what will come out of his pockets? Mac Pilot IS excellent software, but the marketing method !!!?
