Well Bluesoleil--- I now went to a different supplier in SA --  COMPUTER MATRIX WAREHOUSE -- Even bigger retailer than Computer Connection.... I purchased 2  Bluetooth Dongles from them and again have the receipts to prove this -- consists of Bluesoleil2.6.0.8 Release 070517 -- are these legal or not ?? and if not, how can YOU prove it ??

My original question you have still not answered--- I installed ver 8 as an upgrade offered by you and I am limited to a 2MB transfer of data after upgrading - my copy of ver 6 IS VERY LEGAL AND NOT PIRATED but ver 8 uninstalled it so what now????

Thank you for your prompt reply, TheGene

 Yeah this is crap... My Dell laptop came installed with BlueSoleil and I ended up having to reinstall Windows and lost the software.    I am not too keen on the idea of having to pay to get my machine restored.     Seriously though, I hope someone develops a open source bluetooth stack, or microsoft levels the playing field...  

copy of E-Mail: ATTENTION ALL FACEBOOK FRIENDS USING COMPUTER CONNECTION AS A RETAILER !!!

WARNING WARNING WARNING

DO NOT PURCHASE ANY BLUESOLEIL PRODUCTS FROM ABOVE RETAILER CHAIN AS BLUESOLEIL ACTIVELY SAYS SUCH PRODUCTS ARE PIRATED !!

BLUESOLEIL SUPPORT REPLIED AT 2010-12-13 23:23:54 ---  we are afraid you have paid for the pirated one

THIS REGARDS THE PURCHASE OF A BLUETOOTH DONGLE FROM COMPUTER CONNECTION IN SECUNDA IN OCT. 2010

-----ABOVE IS COPY OF E-MAIL I SENT TO ALL OUR CO'S ADDRESSES IN SOUTH AFRICA

Listen my friend do not come and talk rubbish to me ... you want to tell me that a company currently worth approx. 25 000 million us dollars is selling pirate stuff to consumers over the counter??? are you aware what kind of lawsuit you are liable to get with a statement like that??? what you are telling me is that bluesoleil products are only available from you??? is that correct???

our ver.6 and ver.8 can be purchased on this website.

we are afraid you have paid for the priated one.

an exmple as to your prices - purchase in South Africa - 70 - 90 SA Rand

                                                      purchase over internet -  25 US$  === +- 175 SA Rand ......

I rest my case...

there will be no order no. as the dongle and sw was purchased from Computer Connection in Oct. 2010. Computer Connection is a retail outlet in sSouth Africa that sells your product. The sw was NOT bought directly from you as the prices you quote on the internet are completely ludicrous. I have the original disk supplied with the dongle, i have the dongle, and i have the receipt from the retailer - what more do i need?. As to your question of how i cant use yr sw, is it not obvious? the download removed ver6 and installed ver8 - now there is a data limit of 2MB  -  i did not get a serial key with ver8 - so my bluetooth device has thus been rendered useless.....

if you have purchased ver.6, please tell us your order number, how can't you use our software? please discribe more clearly.
