Re: Why has NoteWorthy dumped its UK customers??

G'day David and Frank,
thanks for the enlightenment, but I still don't know if PDSL were supposed to supply CDs.
This appears to be John's real problem. Though even then, I note the No.1 eligibility requirement...
In light of my lack of information, I will hazard a guess...
The purchase from PDSL did not, and was not supposed to, include a CD. Thus the requirement for a direct purchase from NWC where a CD would have been forthcoming.
Easy, though perhaps unwelcome, answer: purchase the upgrade/replacement package. $15 US probably only just covers production, administration and postage costs anyway...
If my guess is correct, then I can understand your frustration John. Perhaps this is indicative of why the PDSL contract wasn't renewed. I would guess there were administrative difficulties that made it unproductive or not cost effective for PDSL to ship CDs or for NWC to ship CDs for licences sold through PDSL.
The directive for you to purchase through PDSL may have been a contractual obligation... I don't know how long the contract lasted, perhaps it predated CD shipments - you realise, of course, I'm now "talking through my hat". However, I don't believe that NWC would have deliberately attempted to disenfranchise you.
