  • RA 2.5x vs RA 2.62.1

    From Manuel Adorni@4:902/27 to Todos on Thu Nov 3 11:34:10 2016
    ¡Hola Todos!

    Hi. I have the key for 2.5 version with 250 nodes and only for two nodes for RA
    2.62. I think in back from my RA 2.61 to RA 2.52. What is your opinion?.

    ¡Saludos!

    why are you not able to use the 250 node key with your 2.61? mine seems to work
    but i think my testing was all done on RAPro stuffs...

    yeah, you should never find the pro version... it can only be purchased... http://www.rapro.com/

    back to your original question, there was a policy change at one point where the shareware release was reduced to only a few nodes instead of being the full
    250... i'm guessing this was a corporate decision... it is understandable since
    250 nodes is/was the maximum... if you have a valid key file for 2.5, it should
    work just fine with 2.6... the only thing being the reduction in nodes...

    for more than 2 nodes, purchasing RAPro is required... on the one hand, i can understand this considering the $$$ that bruce spent to acquire the RA code base... i don't know that he'll break even and can only wish the best for him... i think, though, that the decision to go 2 nodes in RA shareware was made by andrew before he left the scene and got so involved with his ISP business... as far as what bruce is doing, i can only look at and point to the above link to the RAPro web site...

    The key should work on both... Are you getting some specific error message?

    yes, the key should work for both but it will not cause 250 nodes to be active on 2.6 and up... i think manuel is wanting more than two nodes for his system but that requires the Pro version of 2.6 and up... 2.5 should still be viable but some features and bug fixes will be lost in downgrading... i'm not even sure you can convert the user, message and file bases back down...
