@MagicM:

elbox said that the registration belongs to a guy that works for them, he owns NO amiga and that they use the registration inside their business. that happens to be against the Poseidon user license agreement, like with EVERY software out there that has PERSONALISED registration. this is no site license, but a license for a single person to use in his own amigas.
also there might be some other stuff we don't know, I cannot see why any software author would stop accepting registrations after such a long developement time invested...

no, the way I see it, he regged and ALL of elbox as they have admitted , were using it in their developer computers.
so, no, the example u say about the work laptop and your game is not correct, is it not piracy when u buy the game, use it in the 2-3 computers you use AND share it with your co-workers?

edit:

The version of Poseidon installed on the machine that had been presented at the Amizaduszki IS REGISTERED to a permanent employee of Elb*x. The registration had been issued through PPA. The employee is no Amiga user, he does not have (and never had) an Amiga at home and the registration is only used within the company.
< .... >
Finally, the licences sold via PPA are all V2.x licences and only one of these users have upgraded to V3.x. This one user has an Amiga, thus cannot be the one Elb*x mentions.

yeah, making the whole community pay is not very nice, I agree... but since subway, algor, algor-pro and highway still have their OEM licenses, then just get this hardware! and if/when elbox makes a stack then get theirs if u wanna... it is not like the end of poseidon , I mean it runs only on 7 products, 2 are the spiders and 3 is the thyaciline... you can still get a NEW subway with a licence and an el-cheapo zorro-clockport card to use it.

@Vlabguy1:
chris the author of the only USB stack for the amiga a "loozer" ???
I don't see YOU writting a usb stack, the only LOOSER is you that apparently knows nothing. go learn and then post something that worths posting.

@all:
how would you react is someone stole years of your work? the fact that elbox is one of the last hw developers on amiga gives it immunity to theft? I don't get you people. poseidon reached a stage that now IT MIGHT NEED only one more update for the 68k platform, it is a mature product and the classic amiga left the train at 233mhz cpu's. stop whinning and if you really need an amiga USB solution go buy the hardware that author granted license and is payed for.
