Really good news

I'm assuming we'll be getting the OS4.1 update via AmiUpdate soon ?

dunno; they usually update their amiupdate entry soon after the release on their website, but honestly i'm more interested in the release for 68K machines. the initial release earlier this year was rather buggy and folks even had basic installation issues. i hope that's been ironed out.

strange had no issues at all with the last release on both my 1200 desktop with 1d4 MB and my 1200T with 2B MB? anyhow always exciting getting new MUI updates for our classics:)

@klx300r

looks like the MUI updates just hit amiupdate for AOS4 users a little while ago. you should see it now.

I paid for an MUI key months ago. I was sent an email from the author about his machine being down or some such thing. Many months and several emails later, still no key.  Any ideas on how to get the legit key that I paid for?

Sounds like he has scammed you, he could use an emulator if his Amiga is broken. I suggest using ReAction instead, it's better anyway and doesn't need any payments to con artists.

Ok, thank you.

Wasn't this the guy who said his Amiga hard drive died taking with it the software to generate keys, but that if you paid he'd send you a copy of someone else's key? Shouldn't take "several emails", regardless. Just send the darn key and be done with it.

just to be clear here the exact same thing happened to me & others and this is no scam as the original author is sending out the keys as temporary which are fully functional after he receives payment.  He states this in the email sent with the key.

nah, nothing like that. stefan's key generator was on his classic amiga, and it bit the dust some time ago. that's all. so he's sending out generic keys these days instead. and the long wait on email replies is due to the fact that he's just not as involved as he once was; he's typically traveling as he's an avid cyclist.

My understanding is: he seemed pretty quick to take the money, not too busy cycling for that. Also not too busy to release a new version. But didn't send the poster any key, generic or not, and not even the courtesy of a reply. That's fraud, pure and simple. And as I mentioned, if there is a problem with his Amiga he could use UAE.

the 'taking' of the money is automatic. when he gets back from his trips, he then forwards keys to folks. the issue is also that the key generator is effectively lost at this point. i agree stefan should post something saying that people should expect to wait a while before getting their keys, or at least lower the price, or... anything, really.

i should also point out that stefan is no longer involved in MUI development, even though he receives funds for keys. the current development team are awesome guys, so, let's be careful about throwing around the 'fraud' term. i wouldn't want people to get the wrong idea. that said... yeah, the situation is unfortunate.

@Jeff

i do hope you get your key soon!
