How many hoops do you have to climb through to get this registered? Ridiculous. Uninstalled.
At least I didn’t have to repeatedly play the stupid street signs captcha game on SOS today to request the software, I can see that is lined up for me after I submit this post, but, I had to do it 5 times on the ACDSee site!
The instructions say that you will see that your submission was accepted on the ACDSee site after entering your details, that didn’t happen for me despite stopping any script or flash blocking on their page. My third attempt to submit my details got a message telling me that I’d already done so! There had been no sign that this was so prior to that message. So persist if you get nothing at first. About 1 minute after being told I had an email from ACDSee my mail client informed me that I did indeed have one. Screening the EULA brought up some higher rated privacy warnings than what I would normally allow, so its sandboxed until I can check this out better. I had an extra step in the registration process when I started this software for the first time compared to what the notes in the SOS email had said – you get an email with a temporary password for your ACDSee account which is needed to register the software. As BranBuds asked – how many hoops….?
