re: wind up of Pixielab

[Dan Anderson]

Gary Deane, one of the knowledgeable XXcopy posters, posted the comments below in the XXcopy yahoo group.

The intention to wind up Pixielab would impact the future of XXclone as well.

One of the unknowns is whether Kan's son will provide the source codes to someone else (?) who might undertake to continue with updates etc.  I haven't seen any indication as yet that anyone has offered to take on that sort of ongoing role for XXcopy and/or XXclone.

The future of Xxcopy is unknown at this stage. I am aware that Kan's son does intend to wind up the business operations of Pixelab. So there will be no further development and ultimately no version updates or license renewals. However I don't know whether updates and licenses will be issued in the interim.

As for the differences between the freeware and Pro versions, that is mostly covered in the help file at http://www.xxcopy.com/xxtb_034.htm

Other than the license conditions themselves, I'm not sure where the home version fits in terms of capabilities. A broad description is here: http://www.xxcopy.com/xcpyprod.htm

Personally, I don't need any updates, I just need the expiration date to be removed from the copy of XXClone I have so that I can continue to use it with my Windows 7.

I have sent a few emails over the last couple of years offering to purchase the source code.  No response to the email Does anyone have a more direct address to the son?
