We purchased ActiveReports for .NET 1.0 in mid January 2005. Like most companies do, we expected to be notified when an upgrade was available. DataDynamics does not notify you of an upgrade unless you email them and ask to be put on a notification list. Nowhere on their site does it tell you that you have to "opt in" to be notified of upgrades. We would have qualified for a discounted upgrade to 2.0, but they only honor that price for 6 months. We missed the free upgrade by 1 day, and since we didn't frequently visit the DataDynamics site, we didn't know 2.0 had been released. Our profile with the company was set to receive email updates, which never happened. After speaking with the President of DataDynamics, he informed us that they would not give upgrade pricing, and we would have to pay full price for a newer version. In my opinion, this policy only serves to alienate the customer in an effort to increase the bottom line. If you buy this product, make sure you email them and ask to be notified about updates, set DataDynamics as your home page, and check every day to make sure you don't get ripped off like we did. We have shelved ActiveReports and purchased Crystal Reports 11 for 1/5th of the price of ActiveReports. We will never use ActiveReports again.
