In the end, it is up to you whether to spend money or not. We do appreciate it when people support our work.

That was a quick response and a useful link, thank you!
Even if my grumpy 'first post' may suggest otherwise, I do appreciate your work and the effort it takes to develop software. The semi-permanent license construction will be something I need to get my head around, but 11 dollars a year is very reasonable for a decent upgrade.
Please allow a suggestion. For even if I was grumpy before, I meant good... : As far as I know, semi-continuous licensing (or semi-permanent or whatever anyone would like to call it) is a bit more common in the Windows/PC community than it is in the Apple/Mac community. Therefore, it might be a good idea to mention the financial part of the upgrade-path a bit earlier in the ordering process (for the Mac version anyway), preferably somewhere at the start.
It's perfectly fine to charge for an upgrade as long as it's a small 'fee' for a substantial upgrade. Like many others, I am someone who doesn't scrutinize the 'small print', but I still like to know these things before I order.
On the positive side: I really like MC19 For Mac so far. It's a big leap forward from MC18 For Mac

Hi,
Something strange happened today. 4 days ago, I purchased the upgrade license for MC18>MC19. I paid for it (PayPal notification to show for that), installed the new unlock key that I received in my mailbox (made sure it was really the NEW one), and started listening to great music with great sound. But today MC19 quite unexpectedly warned me that I had 13 days left in my trial. So I had to unlock it again, and I promptly received an email that I have 9 out of 10 restores left for the next 12 months. If this happens every 14 days, I will not be able to use MC19 for more than 5 months. Hm...
I'm sure something went wrong, and it was probably something I did myself. But I can't figure out what it was I did wrong. Can you please help?
JimH:
Maybe you also had an older version installed?
If you run out of restores, we can reset them. Use the full 30 day trial period to extend them.
Max Delissen:
Aha!
Yes, I still had MC18 installed. I deleted it completely just now, and we'll see what happens. Thanks again!
By the way: excellent response time ;) ...
