Zwei Monate sollten doch reichen sich zu entscheiden, ob man updatet oder nicht.

wizard, was machst Du? Steigst Du auf die v2 um oder bleibst Du bei der 1er?

Ich steige um. Die Updategebühr ist eigentlich recht günstig. Außerdem lohnt es sich für mich, da ich bisher eine günstige Studentenversion habe und nun ohne große Zusatzkosten auf eine Normallizenz wechseln kann.

Ich finds dreist ... ich hab vor einem Monat noch eine TheBat v1 Version gekauft für einen Freund und er darf jetzt dennoch die Update Gebühr blechen. Einfach nur dreist.

Ich kann jedenfalls auf der HP keinen Verweis finden, das solche Personen kostenlos updaten dürfen.

[Gast_pjan_*]

Das mit den zwei Monaten stand bis gestern noch auf deren Website.

Dumm gelaufen. Einen rechtlichen Anspruch auf kostenlose Updates hat Dein Freund jedenfalls nicht.

Ich kann jedenfalls auf der HP keinen Verweis finden, das solche Personen kostenlos updaten dürfen.

Ich würde empfehlen eine EMail an die Salesabteilung bei Ritlabs senden und nachfragen. Vielleicht zeigen die sich ja kulant.

Und ab heute bin ich stolzer Besitzer von TheBat! v2. Irgentwie innerhalb von 1 Minute nach Kauf hatte ich schon den neuen Keycode. Und da sagt noch einer E-Commerce wäre eine Todgeburt.

Kann mal ein TheBat! 2 - Nutzer einen Screenshot hier posten ?

Ich habe mir die 2.0 mal kurz angesehen, meine Mails von Pegasus importiert. Das einzige was ich an The Bat besser finde als an Pegasus ist die Geschwindigkeit beim Arbeiten mit vielen Emails (hatte 77k Emails importiert). Aber von den sonstigen Features her - was soll da besser sein als Pegasus?

[wizard]

was soll da besser sein als Pegasus?

Eigentlich alles War auch vorher Pegasus User. Aber wenn man eine vielzahl von EMails, Konten (sprich unterschiedliche Adressen/Profile) zu verwalten hat, dann ist TheBat! einfach unschlagbar.

Außerdem ist die HTML Unterstützung besser gelungen als bei TheBat! und auch die Filterfunktionen sind IMHO bei TheBat! flexibler.

Ich persönlich möchte nie mehr zu Pegasus zurückkehren.

Du, das sieht genauso aus wie vorher. Nicht ohne Grund hat Stroud sinngemäß "beauty lies within" geschrieben. Änderungen gab es fast ausschliesslich "unter der Haube".

@wizard: die HTML Funktionalität ist doch genau das, was Stroud bemängelt hat. Ist Dir da bereits etwas (negativ) aufgefallen?

Eigentlich nicht. Bisher habe ich den Eindruck, dass HTML jetzt leicht besser funktioniert als im Vorgänger.
