What is infuriating to developers is when customers demand lifetime access to the developer's talents and resources without paying a penny.

I personally don’t view being able to download a particular version of the product especially given the licensing model access to developers talents!

Maybe they are accessing their resources in terms of the websites but that is a public facing website so there must be a myriad of people accessing the “resource” who don’t even own BI.

Marcellus literally wanted updates and support too.

Looks like I overlooked that post and I can’t see the post except in your quote.

Yes, agree with your lifetime support comment, everything has a best before support date

Did you mention backups ? The secret of my success

That is because he was a spammer and he suffered the usual fate as soon as identified as such

I came here to say that some of these responses are from absolutely childish pri#ks.

The email I was sent for registration had a "shareit.com" link for the download. Guess what happens when you have to rebuild your computer? It's unable to be downloaded. Get rekt. If you're going to lock people into a version you should offer those downloads. I work at a company that does this and it's absolutely shady and crap that BI doesn't. The responses in this thread are garbage as well. Thankfully this thread is a top google result for the basic question so other people will see this trite bullsh@t too.

Welcome to the forum, and strike 1. Personal abuse will not be tolerated, but freedom of speech is vital. The previous posts are all the thoughts of forum members, and the only problem person was a spammer. My personal views are my own as a volunteer moderator, and do not always align with the management.
We also believe that Blue Iris should keep old versions, and we have said so. If you wish to change things, please send an email to Support, and let us know their response. If necessary I can create a poll for forum members to show what users are thinking.
Please read the forum Terms and Conditions before posting again.

Such a perfectly Happy Young Gentleman's passive aggressive response delivered with absolute surgical precision.

Well done.
