If you want to purchase the new Ham Radio Deluxe version currently version 6. I used to host the last free version of HRD version 5. But WAIT! Lastly, there might be a certain number of Y users of the free one who could afford the paid version but are happy to limp by with the free one instead of buying the paid one — thinking that they are winning by doing so.
Which means it might, just maybe, be incredibly foolish to do anything to shut down dissemination of the free version of the software since you are probably making more net sales — not losing net sales — because the free version is out there.
Now, Mike, since all of that has been settled…what about those unfixed multiple support orders to fix bugs on the paid version that I submitted almost two years old…..???? We feel that it's important and will be worth the read.
We originally began hosting Ham Radio Deluxe HRD because we were huge fans of the program, and we noticed that it was only being hosted on a few other sites and we were concerned that those sites might go offline, effectively eliminating access to the program. We've been hosting HRD for a little over a year and a half as of this writing, and it's been a fantastic experience being able to assist the Amateur Radio community in obtaining excellent software.
We've recently been made aware of a number of things, and we'd like to give you a clear overview of the current situation surrounding Ham Radio Deluxe in general. When we began hosting HRD, the site we originally obtained our copy of the software from had a notice that the software was authorized for free distribution by its original author Simon Brown, HB9DRV.
As it turns out, that notice was inaccurate. While that was true at one time, the terms the program was licensed under did not grant a permanent license to freely distribute the program forever. He cites pursing other interests as his primary reason for the sale, and states that he believes that the best way for Ham Radio Deluxe to continue on is for it to become a legitimate product, rather than a side project.
Supporting a software suite of this size is a complex and costly process. Simon was able to turn his side project into a profitable venture for himself, and we'd like to make sure this is possible for others in the future.
Because of this, we'd like to ask that if you enjoy Ham Radio Deluxe that you consider purchasing the current version.
We've actually upgraded to the new version ourselves, and we believe the new features and bug fixes make it well worth it. The license to freely distribute the early versions of the program has since been rescinded because these early versions were determined to no longer be an accurate representation of the features and functionality provided in the most recent versions.
