That was very nice of you. Based on your experience, I will pass on this as well. A similar experience with Heimdal made me have to do multiple requests to get refunded on an offer that never stated any automatic renewals at the start (I saved copies of the offer and each step of the purchase). I never got around to installing as I could “install any time” and the refund stated that the initial license purchase was dead too, so I even lost out on that initial cost.
There is no need for a company to scam its customers. You could have been a lifetime customer, but they blew their chance.
Again, thanks for the warning. I really appreciate your comment.
