Such a perfectly Happy Young Gentleman's passive aggressive response delivered with absolute surgical precision.

Well done.

Welcome to the forum, and strike 1. Personal abuse will not be tolerated, but freedom of speech is vital. The previous posts are all the thoughts of forum members, and the only problem person was a spammer. My personal views are my own as a volunteer moderator, and do not always align with the management.
We also believe that Blue Iris should keep old versions, and we have said so. If you wish to change things, please send an email to Support, and let us know their response. If necessary I can create a poll for forum members to show what users are thinking.

I came here to say that some of these responses are from absolutely childish pri#ks.

The email I was sent for registration had a "shareit.com" link for the download. Guess what happens when you have to rebuild your computer? It's unable to be downloaded. Get rekt. If you're going to lock people into a version you should offer those downloads. I work at a company that does this and it's absolutely shady and crap that BI doesn't. The responses in this thread are garbage as well. Thankfully this thread is a top google result for the basic question so other people will see this trite bullsh@t too.

That is because he was a spammer and he suffered the usual fate as soon as identified as such

What is infuriating to developers is when customers demand lifetime access to the developer's talents and resources without paying a penny.
I personally don’t view being able to download a particular version of the product especially given the licensing model access to developers talents!

Maybe they are accessing their resources in terms of the websites but that is a public facing website so there must be a myriad of people accessing the “resource” who don’t even own BI.
Marcellus literally wanted updates and support too.

Yes, agree with your lifetime support comment, everything has a best before support date [emoji3]

It's frustrating when purchasing a product doesn't guarantee access to updates or support without additional fees. Transparency and customer satisfaction should be priorities to avoid feeling misled or exploited.

This is not good. When you buy a product it is supposed to be considered bought meaning we are not asking for something free. We spent our hard earned money for the product and it should not a part of paid support. They should have posted a previous versions of the product. I have never seen a company that pushes you to buy a support just to get a download link of the product that you have already bought. I felt scammed.
You want BI to host content for you in case you lose what was sent to you?

Nail hit on head!

It’s like the people who whinge that they can’t find their license key which most probably was emailed over to them as part of the purchase process!

I’m not too sure why you are expecting BI to keep what is now regarded as a legacy version of the software?

I own a license for Windows NT but last time I looked MS don’t offer a download link for it.

When I purchased BI I downloaded a copy of BI and have that stored so should the need arise and I need to re-install then can do so.

If BI have said no-can-do the best you might be able to do is if somebody here has a copy that they are willing to share?

In terms of buying support, yes I personally don’t agree with that being offered as a solution but that how he chooses to do business.
