Subject: Re: New mac coming, what to do?

Funnily enough an engine replacement in my van is what is making me have the same issue. The costs on that are blowing out with no end in sight :(

I'm in a slightly different boat, I haven't had a chance to try the software out yet as the computer and camera are still on their way to me. Just bad timing unfortunately.

$500 isn't a bad price at all if you have an investment already in cameras and machines.

I've been using Astro IIDC for several years now, and planned to buy a Golden Key weeks ago.  Then I needed to put a whole barrel of cash into a new engine for my van, which almost stopped me.

But then I thought about it, and figure that $500 for the things that Astro IIDC can do and has done for me for the past several years is really a good deal, when compared to the alternatives, such as they aren't.

I had licenses for 3 computers to run multiple cameras.  One of those is just over a year old, but the other two are about 5 and 8 years old.  I figure if we get to a point where Astro IIDC doesn't run on the latest OS and hardware, I'll just replace my old Macs with refurbed ones, if necessary.

That's my 2 cents.

Apparently there isn't.

I have an old G5, I'm considering buying a license for that I guess.

What will those of you who have already bought the software do if your computer dies? Or are have you bought golden keys already?

I just wanted to make sure I had it right, I can't buy a key now to use on a future computer, except the golden key?

Not a complaint, just trying to work out what my options are.

Cheers

I was about to buy Astro IIDC, but my mac has died, a new one is on its way, but will be another week. Is there any way I can get a key, other than the aptly named golden one?
