[filmscanners] Note to pre-1999 VueSmart purchasers of VueScan

["Bob Shomler" <bobf1@shomler.com>]

There's a lively thread on Usenet's comp.periphs.scanners news group, subject: 
"Ed Hamrick locked out serial numbers issued before March 3, 1999."  It seems 
that those who purchased his original VueSmart in 1998 before it became VueScan 
(in 1999) can no long obtain free Vuescan upgrades.  They must reregister -- 
pay another $40 -- in order to use future updates to Vuescan.  Previous Vuescan 
versions (prior to October 2002?) continue to work with the pre-March 3, 1999 
serial numbers.

So I'd suggest those who are using Vuescan following from their purchase of 
VueSmart should retain their current working Vuescan program version(s) in case 
a reinstall is needed, or purchase a new license if new Vuescan function is 
worth the upgrade.
