(First of all, I am a new forum member (Hello!), but have been a TA user for a few months)
I am sure many of us are interested in this same question.
Any of us whom purchased an unbound license are basically out of luck since Avast bought them out and is now offering their Mobile Security product for free (currently)?
Is there any talk about us TA "unbound" license holders to get a AMS license if the product goes paid?
-
hello there is no plans to make the product paid.

so what you're saying, we through our money down the drain. It saddens me that loyal TA costumers aren't privileged in any way over the free users.
-
I can agree with that actually, we paid for it so we should have some kind of privilege but its not that much of a deal.

Which privileges would you like..??
Just curious. ;)

Free online control of Theft Aware, where nonpaying customers can't use it.
Just some small extras tweaks/ options, like a PRO version.

Interesting, but I highly doubt that this will happen.
It's free for everyone now. That's just the way it is. ;)

Yes, I understand what you want.
Still, I've never seen any complaints about providing (good) software for free before. ;D

Perhaps not but the thing is that we paid for this once. I myself bought it not long and now its suddenly free after it moved to Avast.

Ok, you paid for it and now it's free. Where's the problem..??
Such things happen all the time in the IT industry, but usually more often vice versa. ;D

1 more thing I thought of,
The product currently is free, and is planned to be in the future.
But, as you know, plannend isn't allways reality.
Lets say that in the future it will become a pay app, Avast doesn't have a list of people who did pay for the initial app. Therefor they can't know who has the right to keep the service for free.

They know we hate applications that become shareware after being released for free.
avast never did this.
On contrary, features paid were moved to the free version to help users and increase security.

No:)

Hi all, just bought unbound license on Nov 30, now i hear this acquisition and just learn about avast here :o
Well, frankly i don't have any qualm, as long as i still get the old security features, then all is well ;D
IF (big IF, that is), for under some circumstances this new app decides to go for paid app and suddenly i lose those old theftaware features, then and only then will i get pissed off >:( I really really hope this will not be the case...
PS. just register here, nice to meet you all... :D
