Seriously? I *just purchased this software and now I'm being asked to upgrade!?
pcstockton:
what kind of price per month are you thinking about?
Something tells me this would SERIOUSLY impact JRiver's bottom line, which is most likely already razor thin.
We ALL need a healthy, happy, profitable JRiver. Just send them the $20 and a thank you for being allowed unparalleled access to those developing the software. When was the last time any other company asked you for input on their next product, or implemented your suggestions (or at least considered them)?

Now for some negativity...
Dear JRiver,
I know your cut-off for MC17 upgrades was October 1st, but this other guy made a big fuss because he bought his 3 days before. Well, I bought mine three days before him, so if you're making exceptions to the cut off date, I demand one too.
Sincerely,
Fatbrat.
Hmmm... or:
I paid for version 16 and that's exactly what I got. In a year's time it won't do any less than it does now.
Try whining to Cyberlink, Adobe, Apple or Microsoft and see how far it gets you. What's the point of a cut-off date if people are going to complain? What happened to 'them's the breaks' and 'maybe next time I'll come out ahead'?
I don't usually rant, but the world really is becoming fully of complainers who feel they are entitled to everything, or deserve to be an exception.

I don't feel entitled to anything. If I did I wouldn't pay for the software to begin with and just go find some dark corner of the internet to get it for free but I don't do that. I pay and work for everything I have.
Cyberlink, Adobe, Apple and Microsoft don't release software the same way jriver does. Yes, version 17 is beta and not considered official release but I'd guess most regular jriver users use these betas as their official version. The way jriver sends out limited time discounted upgrade pricing emails to all customers makes it feel like more "official" software. Those other companies you mentioned don't do that with beta software. Don't get me wrong I appreciate and take advantage of the discount offers.

I did try whining to Arcsoft not that long ago because I bought TMT literally 12 hours before they launched TMT5.
Not only did they not make an exception, they ignored my email and my forum post.

Ouch. That's gotta hurt.
