[@Vovsoft] This appears to be unnecessary logic as previously even if I have an existing license in registry SOS builds would show as Licensed to SharewareOnSale and the previously downloaded portable would show Vovsoft Giveaway. Maybe because the Vovsoft license might have been version locked so was invalid for the newer SOS version… why even bother looking for a pre-existing license IF one can use the built in SOS license?
[@TK] That is a valid observation, but there is a specific reason for this logic.
We designed it this way to ensure a seamless upgrade path. For example, if a SharewareOnSale user decides to purchase a Lifetime License key later, they can simply enter that key into their current installation. They do not need to uninstall the giveaway version and download a separate “retail” installer.
To support this, the program must check the registry first to see if a specific user key exists. Since it found your previous valid license, it prioritized that over the built-in SharewareOnSale license. I hope that clarifies why the check is necessary.
Thanks a lot for this wonderful offer. It will be of immense help to me. Keep up the spirit
