Fair question. I don't have many concerns about credit card information or data breaches, but I do have concerns about their infrastructure. If you are an ECommerce vendor, having a running website and good recent backups is IT 101. JRRShop struggles with these basic functions. With so many other resellers, I think I will choose to not use JRRShop in the future.
It was me who spoke (not actually spoke, I wouldn't dare actually speak to the King. This was over PM) to him. He just said he is taking a few weeks holiday/vacation, and wouldn't be posting much. All is good.
All of the above is correct.
I have two licenses, a Pro on a dongle, and an Elements on the "Soft E Licenser." I never really have any issues upgrading my Pro on the dongle, but I always have a devil of a time with "soft E Licenser." It is very confusing, and I do computers for a living. It really shouldn't be that difficult.
Its the same process for any upgrade - .5 or otherwise. It defaults to a separate install. A license is a license - if you have Pro license for 10.5, you can run 10.5, 10., 9.5, 9, etc. Whatever you want.
This is the way Cubase has always been. You have always been able to run multiple versions alongside of each other. You have the choice. It is not a separate license.
Probably. But it doesn't excuse them from totally blowing off their customers. No responses to their published support email, no responses to their support ticket system on their website either. There was an entire thread on Gearslutz about how bad Loop Loft is.
I'm in the same boat. I bought it off of KVR a couple of years ago for $20 or so. I've never used it, but it is fun to spend a Friday night playing around with it. Cheaper than a movie and popcorn these days.
