Alan C Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 For those that have not spotted it at the top, v2.8.8 was released just over 20 minutes ago. http://lightorama.mywowbb.com/forum55/22755.htmlRegards,Alan.
JBullard Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 I got it about 30 minutes ago. So to answer your question, Yes, I have it.
Alan C Posted August 6, 2010 Author Posted August 6, 2010 In that case, you beat me by quite a few minutes. I wasn't expecting another release so soon.Regards,Alan.
JBullard Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 Todays release was announced yesterday, was on the lookout for it
RaceMedic Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 Being the newbie ....So if I purchased an older version of the software during the summer sale will my licence code still work for the newest version ?Dave
Alan C Posted August 6, 2010 Author Posted August 6, 2010 I will blame the time zones for missing it. EDT+5! Regards,Alan.

Alan C Posted August 6, 2010 Author Posted August 6, 2010 Dave, yes. Just download it, and it will upgrade to the latest version. Most people save the versions rather than running them from the website, as it allows an easy path back to the last version in severe emergencies (whatever they are).Regards,Alan.
bob Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 Most people save the versions rather than running them from the website, as it allows an easy path back to the last version in severe emergencies (whatever they are). This is always a good idea, but I do want to point out that we keep the old versions available on the website.Generally speaking, of course. If some version had some totally horrible "erase your hard drive" kind of bug, we would remove it from availability.
Dan C Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 Speaking of software bugs, There must be one in the new software, It just made my computer order 4 more controllers and 3 CCR's....Well, nothing I can do a bout it now, LOL.

Hope I don't have any additional issues with this one. Restoring my computer back to previous versions is so time consuming that I'd rther spend working on my sequences and technique!

If you get an email with your license key, it will tell you what your max free upgrade is. After that, there may be an upgrade fee.I think the only ones approaching that time are the earliest buyers, after version 2.9. And we're talking people that bought the software 4+ years ago.

And we're talking people that bought the software 4+ years ago.Everyone that purchased LOR before approx June/July last year when the license came out have the SAME criteria for when they will have to start paying. People that have purchased since that time, may have different criteria.Does not matter if you had LOR 1 and had it 4 years ago. Everyone that was LOR1 got a upgraded to S2 and when the license scheme was put in place everyone up to that point has the same start date.Chuck
