I uninstalled this after getting no help from seed4.me support. I left a comment here on Saturday saying that I had only been given a 7 day license. I contacted [email protected] that morning and received a reply saying “..I’ll take care about your problem….if you have any extra details, reply to this email or check status on the web…” I sent them a screenshot showing that I only had a license for 7 days later on that day, when I’d heard nothing more from support. Four days later I still have not heard anymore from them.

I followed the installation and registration instructions as explained on SOS and on seed4.me website. I noted that the SOS page which offered different downloads for various OSs said we should contact seed4.me support if we only got a 7 day license, that suggests to me that the developer expected some issues like what I experienced. I can only guess as to what that means. I have done as indicated, seed4.me have collected my email address and done nothing else.

[@Nick] Coincidentally, or not, I got a email from seed4.me later today saying “..our Service has been extended for +1 YEAR manually..”. Well thanks, but no thanks, I’m not impressed by the initial failure to supply what was promised, or the slow support response, especially when the first support email said “…give me a minute..” I’ve no idea whether ‘+1 year’ means more than a year, or the originally promised 1 year.

i installed the desktop vpn on windows 8.1 64 bit laptop with promo code..

I started it up and says i got 365 day till 2020..

but it does not connect to any of the many servers..

i disabled the windows firewall to see if that would help.. still didn’t connect..

n e one else with this troubles..

maybe i need a windows service to be run ‘n.. n e ideals..

There are a couple of things about this software that warn me to STAY FAR AWAY from this software:

1. There appears to be no P2P torrent support. The name of the company and software is seed4me, which strongly implies that the company and software are built upon seeding, presumably torrents, which the software doesn’t support “to anonymize; you can still torrent, but most users will be under the misapprehension that their IP is hidden”. This means that SOMEONE other than the user is seeding something with this software, most likely the company. My guess is that the company chose this name to market to other companies who pay for seeding adverts by injecting outside info into the stream after obtaining target information from user traffic.

2. This brings me to my next objection: the Terms of Service are Draconian (that is being nice) at best. I HIGHLY ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO READ THE TERMS OF SERVICE FOR THIS SOFTWARE PRIOR TO INSTALLING.

If you read the excellent post by user AP87 in the reviews section for this software (you are currently in Discussion, not reviews), he goes into great detail about the horrible TOS. You can read those reviews at this link (look for user AP87) https://sharewareonsale.com/s/free-seed4-me-vpn-100-discount#submit_review.
In his excellent review of the TOS, there is one part that should make your hair stand on end. While there are plenty of other parts of the TOS that alone would give me great pause about this software, this particular part easily decided for me to NOT INSTALL.

“Seed4.Me reserves the right to install, manage and operate one or more software, monitoring or other solutions designed to assist us in identifying and/or tracking activities that we consider to be illegal or violations of these ToS’s. ”

They reserve the right to INSTALL, MANAGE AND OPERATE ONE OR MORE SOFTWARE…OR OTHER SOLUTIONS.. They are saying they have the right to install ANYTHING on your computer that “(they) consider to be illegal or violations”. Note that it doesn’t say IS illegal or violations, but what (they) consider. So if someone at seed4me CONSIDERS (opinion) there MIGHT be a TOS violation, they can install any software they want, as long as it, in their opinion, will “assist us in identifying and/or tracking activities that we CONSIDER to be illegal or (TOS violations).

If you install this software and thus agree to the TOS you are essentially authorizing the company to “manage or operate” ANY software they want on your device.

COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE.

I would like to thank ASHRAF for an outstanding site that I use almost daily and for not censoring user posts. He has always exhibited the utmost integrity regarding this.

Finally, I would again like to acknowledge and thank sharewareonsale user AP87 for going through the TOS and finding these landmines. Please read his post: it is incredibly informative, detailed, and alarming.

I installed it 6 days ago, and today i got an email from them: “Your VPN access will expire in 24 hours!” – so what? This is a 7 days trial only and not a year?

Hi Ashraf,

I have installed and been using Seed4me.VPN from Jan 30, 2019 using the code:
SharewareOnSale exclusive promo code: share19.
It is working with a display: Protected until 30 Jamuary 2020.
However, every 5 minutes a window pops up while on internet, reminding me to update,
stating that I am using a Free Version.
How do I get rid of the pop-up.
Please advise.
Uma
