Sorry, I only bought one copy of 3.1.4 for my Minimig, the software license prevents me from buying more copies for my other Amiga systems, like my A3000/CSPPC/CVPPC. To get help, you may consider applying for the Hyperion OS3 beta tester team.

Are you suggesting I should just ignore the software license?

No. Get one for the A3000, all is good. One license per system. (Not one per user).

Oh, you didn't ask that, right? Thanks for trolling.

No, you are the one trolling here - I will not, and can not, accept the conditions stated in the license, so hence I can not buy it. It is this simple.

You already bought one. So you accepted one. So what's the point here? Kolla, again, what's your problem?
When I bought the one copy I have, the license was not presented to me at point of sale - it was only available inside the archive that I downloaded - a so called "shrinkwrap license" which by itself is not legal.

Hence I complained to the European Commission via their online dispute resolution system, Hyperion recognised the issue, and within a few weeks, the web site changed to its current state, where license is presented *BEFORE* sale takes place.

(Strangely, this is only the situation for OS 3.1.4, for OS 4.1FE the situation is still that no license is presented before point of sale - I guess because noone reported it yet)

However, the license itself is just as ridiculous as it ever was - for example it says
Quote
You are required to select the appropriate "Locale" setting based on the location where you will be operating the AmigaOS
a rather insane requirement.

Btw - during the dispute resolution, I learned why AmigaOS is priced as it is, it is right below the point where consumer disputes would much more risky for Hyperion...

So I you’re all saying I can just disregard the entire software license? I am fine with that, it’s a load of BS anyhow. Why would I buy more copies then? Not like I use more than one system at a time anyways. Also, who in their right mind would buy Os 3.1.4 now, when bugs only get fixed in 3.2, which will have to be bought again?

No point releasing it until it is ready.

That didn't stop 3.1.4...
