Yes ma'am...I payed for mine, the only way to continue the usage of this wonderful program is to support the developers and buy the key (stay away from ebay).
We certainly did. This is an excellent program and well worth the money. If you use it and are happy with it, say thanks by purchasing it.
The Slysoft line of programs are excellent, updated often and there is a discount promotion at another forum; http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread.php?t=195569 Note there is usually a corresponding promotion at this site often with the code 'afterdawn' for a discount.
Why not spend the money like everyone else? They offer life time updates and the intial fee is not much for all the good this program does. Just own up and pay for it.
I paid for mine (as well as CloneDVD2) and talked a couple of others into buying it as well. Both are very happy, as I am.
