Re: [amsat-bb] SatPC32 12.8d is released
Based on what I see, the poster claims 12.8d is available for download from the link supplied. However that does not appear to be the case. In review of the SatPC32 site, Only a demo version is available and there's no "Update(r)" version that can be applied to current versions that I can find. What is really the case? Is this going to be available as an update for current registered users of SatPC32 12.8c, or do we have to pay for a full blown program via the AMSAT store? From what I see the AMSAT store does not provide a update link, only to purchase a new program entirely. I don't see any indication that the AMSAT store is providing the 12.8d version updater. As a matter of fact, it does not even say what version of SatPC32 is being offered. Steve NS3L
The demo version download is the same as the full version, you just have to enter your existing registration key upon starting up 12.8d for the first time.
There is no "updater." You need to backup your settings and uninstall the previous version as described on the page.

Steve,
The demo version + registration number is the registered version. Follow the update instructions in the zip file, and your new version will come up fully registered. There is never a charge for updates.

Steve, Users with registration code don't have to pay again for the new version. My "Downloads" web page says clearly: "The program will be installed as Demo version." and "The full versions can be activated by entering a registration code." The registration code is valid also with new program versions, see http://www.dk1tb.de/downloadinfo.htm
I use Installshield Express to generate the setup files. This tool doesn't generate "Updates" that can be applied to the current version. It requires to un-install the current version before it installs a new one. I have mentioned that also on the "Downloads" web page (under 2e). The Installshield professional versions that generate such "Updates" cost 3 or 4 times as much as the Express version.
