Beta testers who get nothing . . .

cost in time to myself, and with my extant licence for
RevMedia 2.7.1 expected some sort of acknowledgement.
But it was not to be. Pity really.

Such is the nature of public betas. People who beta tested OSX as
part of the public beta still had to buy it.
However, I thought purchasers of 2.7 got a free upgrade. Or am I
wrong? You might want to check with Rev support.

Heather has posted this information in the forums. I'll do the same
here:
You get Rev 2.9 for free if:
- You had an active update pack/license on 1 February 2006
- You purchased any version of Revolution 2.7.x
- You bought a RevSelect Holiday bundle
- You have an active license pack valid on the date of 2.9's
release
The free updates do not affect any other aspect of licensing. Your
license
is not extended another three months or year, for example. You are just
getting the new version.
Example 1:
Bill has a Studio 2.6.1 license that expired Feb 5, 2006. He has not
purchased any new versions since then. He gets Rev 2.9 for free, but
otherwise his license is still "inactive." He'll have to renew the
license
for any future versions.
Example 2:
Charles bought Revolution 2.7.3 and 2.8.1 and the RevSelect Holiday
Bundle.
His license is current through December 2008. He'll receive Rev 2.9
as part
of his update pack license, as well as any versions released the rest of
this year.
We have not announced what versions will follow 2.9, but you're
correct that
if you don't have an update pack, these will not be free upgrades. (A
good
reason to get your licks in on the final beta.)

The most important thing we all "got" out of the beta was a much-improved
product.
We're still evaluating what we want to do to recognize active testers. There
will be a final beta update shortly with this info and a wrap-up on the beta
program in general.

For my part, I thoroughly enjoyed beta-testing. All I expected to get
out of it was for Revolution to be improved and I certainly got that.
I gather from the newsletter that there were about 800 beta testers,
so I don't see that acknowledging us all in the credits would have
been possible.
What did you expect Richmond? Perhaps next time you should stay out of
the beta program if you do not feel that the intrinsic rewards are
sufficient.

Yes, you are right insofar as the actual Beta-testing
goes. However, I thought that on the strength of my
RevMedia 2.7.1 license I might be allowed, at least,
RevMedia 2.9. What could be at fault is my reading of
the offer about extant licenses.
Hwever, having had people Beta-testing various
products of mine, I have always left them with, either
a Beta version that does not expire, or a copy of the
finished product. May be that is why my average
monthly income just about equals my monthly spending -
the big businessman I am not.
sincerely, Richmond Mathewson

We only just now released Rev 2.9 for Mac and Windows (Linux coming
shortly).
Since you purchased a version of Revolution 2.7.x, you get 2.9 for free. You
and others who purchased Media 2.7.x will be getting that email with a
download link and 2.9 Media code very shortly.

Indeed I did :)

to a good selling 2.9 version, obtains the needed resources to address
specific issues of the product (for me bugs #670 and #4944) and show
the will to address them (and not only make promises), preferabely not
in several years...
Best,
