I with ya on that one pwal. I still hate Pace. And I just refuse to deal with anyone who uses it for authorization. I got my reasons, so I'll leave it at that.
But I love the PSP plugins Old Timer, 2445, Spring Box and others. I have a bunch of their stuff. But man I ain't going with the Pace thing.
I sent a email to them a while back when the 2445 plugin went Pace authorization expressing my disdain and dislike for the path they were going. They were extremely nice about it, took the time to explain to me why they are moving in that direction, and he was very persuasive. Hell I almost broke down and made a iLock account! : ) We had quite a few emails over several days. Really nice people over there at PSP I must say.
But I still ain't got no iLock account. And don't want one.
I just built my new machine and went to PSP website to d/l my older plugins to install on this new machine. But they have changed their user area page and the legacy plugins are no longer available. I just sent a email to ask them if the older versions will be available to d/l or if that's the end of the road for that.
