I have constant problems upgrading. FastSpring doesn't find my old license. The site of their Customer Service is awfully slow. I had already problems with them when they were the paying service for TakeControl Books with other issues. I think I have to look for another application to avoid Bartender and FastSpring. It's not the price, but the time I have to spend and getting ****ed off with their attitude, wasting more than the license price. It seems, that customers are idiots for them. Amen

For security reasons I now prefer ICE <https://github.com/jordanbaird/Ice>. And ICE is free!
