Studio MX is a rip off - Don't buy it
|
|
| EdMX webforumsuser@macromedia.com 2004-01-12, 9:28 am |
| I have recently spent over 1000 dollars for a 'suite' of programs to use in my home business.
I now find I cannot use more than one program at any time across my network of three computers.
You have ripped me off Macromedia, give me my money back.
I would advise everyone to avoid purchasing Studio MX, it is a rip off. I will also be handing out my copy to as many people as possible. Hopefully this will cost them more than they made ripping me off.

| are you saying you'er trying to use one copy of dreamweaver etc on more than
one computer? ever heard of copyright?

| what he is doing is illegal. studio mx has a copy protection built in that
searches your local network for other copies of studio mx running under the
same serial number. if it sees it, then it will shut down the MM program.
this was started with studio MX. i an unsure if MX 2004 does the same, but
it most likely does as well.
people like this EdMX anger me. i am trying to run a successful, legitimate
business, and we have people like him out there wanting to steal software.
now you may ask what stealing software has to do with the success of my
business. well, unfortunatly, because they do not have the overhead cost of
purchasing new software, they are able to undercut the prices of legitimate
businesses that obey copyright laws. i sincerely hope that macromedia
continues this crackdown on copy protection, so that people are forced to
pay for the software that they use to make money for themselves. how would
everyone like it if i stole your website, e-learning course, or whatever you
made, and turned around and sold it for myself. this is the exact same thing
people like him are doing by stealing macromedia software, or aiding others
in stealing it.
macromedia, i hope you have a way of tracking down this EdMX guy.
well, that's my rant for the day...

| I agree with you.
At the same time, the price for Studio MX 2004, even the upgrade, was a bit
pricey AND they didn't even provide printed manuals in the boxed upgrade I
received. I believe in free enterprise and am in full support of Macromedia
pricing their products where they think the "market will bear." The higher
they price their products, the more their competitors will want to catch up
in order to price their products higher.

| You're supposed to buy one license per computer for the software.
And telling the world that you are going to dish it out to everyone you can
is, well, stupid in the extreme to be honest.
They call it piracy these days and FACT like to stamp that out, you know :)
Buy a license, or return the software.
Ranting about not buying MM software in this particular forum is utterly
pointless.
Emailing MM with your disgust might server you better.
Have fun!

| One word: copyright
Check the EULA for the product before you install it. Chances are you click
the "Yes" button to the license agreement when you installed it, and it says
one copy at a time on the network.
Good luck with your distribution scheme. Software activation will render
that idea useless.

While what ed is doing is legally against the EULA, I'm all for him wanting
to do this.
Many, many people (namely web developers) use more than one machine these
days. Software should be licensed to the PERSON...NOT the computer. The
added benefit to the end-user, is that would allow a person to use
cross-platform software without additional licenses. Of course, MM can't
sell as many copies.
Personally, I'd love to see a MM annual license. I'll pay x dollars per
year. In return, I get full access to all MM products and all updates each
year. My license lives on a USB dongle. I can then install the software on
as many computers as I want, but only I can use it (or whoever has the
single Dongle can use it).
I can dream.
;o)
quote:

It's not a crackdown on copying. It's just a bit of a deterrent for the lazy
pirate. Anyone that really wants to pirate software can easily do so. If
anything, it's just another burden for the paying customer. Now, IF MM
dropped the prices of all their products in response to this new copy
protection (since this means less 'theft' and more profit for MM, right?)
then maybe I'd be less inclined to complain about it. ;o)

Well, technically speaking, you purchased a license to use said software,
and the license is pretty clear that you can only use their products on one
desktop and one laptop per license.
I completely sympathize with you and agree that these types of licenses are
nothing but a PITA for us end users. So, from an ethical standpoint, I think
most software companies are guilty of this over-restricted licensing. From a
legal standpoint, though, they're not really doing anything wrong.

Well, that's just stupid. That type of behavior is exactly what makes these
software companies so paranoid and leads them to enacting such restrictive
EULAs.
So you are doing nothing to harm MM by doing that, only harming the rest of
their paying customers.
Of course, this is just troll bait, but hey, it's monday, and I don't want
to actually work yet. ;o)

Nooooooooo. No dongles. Anything but dongles. They're a pain, they
break, you can only have one or two, they fall out and they often
interfere with other dongles.

Actually that's not right either - here is the relevant section of the
EULA -
1.. Portable or Home Computer Use for Software Requiring Mandatory Product
Activation. For Software requiring Mandatory Production Activation, in
addition to the single copy of the Software permitted in Section 2(a), the
primary user of the computer on which the Software is installed may make a
second copy of the Software and install it on either a portable computer or
a computer located at his or her home for his or her exclusive use, provided
that:
(A) the second copy of the Software on the portable or home computer (i)
is not used at the same time as the copy of the Software on the primary
computer and (ii) is used by the primary user solely as allowed for such
version or edition (such as for educational use only), (B) the second copy
of the Software is not installed or used after the time such user is no
longer the primary user of the primary computer on which the Software is
installed, and (C) the Software was not licensed under a volume discount.

Actually, if you did so under prior versions then you would have been
breaking the license agreement, which was "one sale, one machine". I
don't think you would have been in actual legal danger, as the company
really reserves that for real abuse rather than workflow issues, but
running it on three machines wasn't kosher before.
(The MX 2004 license agreement explicilty liberalizes this, by
authorizing the same code purchase to work on two machines, because it's
now possible to confirm that it isn't being used on many, many machines.)

> You have ripped me off Macromedia, give me my money back.
If you're unhappy, for whatever reason, then that's valid. If you
already placed an order for Director MX 2004 it's easy to cancel. If
you're instead referring to Studio MX 2004 then the money-back period
lasts 30 days, just like the pre-activation period:

I really would advise not writing such things, much less doing them. I'm
not going to bring your post to the attention of tip@macromedia.com
myself, but I don't know what others may do with your admission. Not
advisable...!

I have two computers I work with, one for code (DWMX, VB, etc.), one for
graphics, (Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, 3DSMax, etc). That's the way I
have always worked, and it's helpful with the RAM hogs that these tools
are.
Macromedia won't let me use Flash on one machine and Dreamweaver on the
other, at the same time ? I guess I will never be upgrading from version
6.1.

| Wow, thanks for the heads up.. That is a limitation, I wonder if any of
this is made known to the customer prior to purchase, hmmmmm..
And for what it's worth, I can't believe no matter how hard I try
(although I must, I'm not in denial) that the FTP isn't working w/the
trial.. Wow I thought I wasn't doing something right and it turns out
MM isn't doing a lot of things right. That is a Big Squash. Features
that don't perform do stand out - rather nocticeably thereby diminishing
the positives..
And 1K for all the bugs/difficulties/limitations I've read just over the
last few days, yeah that's steep.
This peer to peer NG is very useful, most of the time questions are
answered - given, to the style and abilities of given responder.. But I
do have to wonder, why aren't there any official employees from the big
house (MM) here representing, that's just odd.

| is it possible to just install Flash from the Studio cd onto one computer
and Dreamweaver onto another?
or must you isntall all of studio?
and if you can, will it allow you to run flash on one computer and DW on the
other at the same time?

Yes - you can do both of these.

No - you don't have to do this.

That sounded like what was being described. If Studio sees any other
Studio app running, it will close.

EdMx, not a good idea to give away copies (and besides, would you be
doing anybody a favor?). Still I agree; I only upgraded Fireworks and
DW; I can't use the latter, and won't use the former until I get the
latter working. Can't connect to my site, and I hear the photoalbum
feature fails with FW. DW/FW 4 work just fine. I too am very unhappy.
Still, after several days, have gotten no reply from Macromedia.

The question was raised before but I am not sure that MM answered it, but
you could take some guidance from the fact that the CD is hybrid in that it
contains both the Mac & Win files.

| That's true, however it's not a cross-platform license. So you can't run
your first copy on Windows and the second on Macintosh. It's unfortunate,
but true.

| Isn't being a pirate about having a lack of money to buy the software? Maybe
the software could become less expensive and then more people would buy it
instead of becoming pirates.
My (only) thought for the day!
