I assume you found this post so long after it was written through Google, so anyone arriving that way, take out advice: stay away from Collectorz. Hi Jim,

I bought the book collector(z) software on the assurance that upgrades were free for life. Their website clearly stated that with no caveats whatsoever. After over 3500 books entered into the stupid software I find out I can no longer upgrade without paying. NEVER! They lied so I will never give them another dime, and I will tell everyone I think might even be remotely interested in reading to stay away from that dishonorable sham of a company! Same thing here.

That's not on. You should be able to revert until you want to pay... are you saying you now have an application on your machine that you can’t access, content you have entered that you can’t use until you have paid your licence.

My main problem is that at no time prior to the upgrade was I informed it would not be covered, and that they made a big point of the fact that it was a 'lifetime purchase' back when I originally bought the software. If they'd told me, I'd be annoyed slightly because it seems contrary to their previous statements, but I would probably have paid the $25 by now. As I said, it's the way it was handled that most annoyed me. (Also, everyone should check out Mr Speaker's blog because it's far more full of awesome than mine. :) ) I know, @Squozen stated the same thing on Twitter.

We're just used to the web-based stuff these days, where there is no such thing as a version. And, come to think of it, no such thing as a fee!
