Deactivated licenses?

Lilien

Hello,
unfortunately I had to find out that my Econap Plus license acquired through the Heise Advent Calendar no longer works. It was communicated by Heise at the time that 15,000 Econap Plus licenses worth €9.90 each would be given away, which should be equivalent to a full license without a time limit. And yet Econap now shows me "Error loading license". I don't want to appear ungrateful, but if it is not a mistake, I do not consider it a correct behavior.

Happy new year!

Hello Lilien

Happy new year - and sorry for the late reply.
I can understand your point - in 2018, we agreed with heise on 15,000 licenses for Econap Plus which would be valid for one year. For some reason, heise did not mention this in their campaign description. I assume that this is the reason for the misunderstanding.
Although we would be happy if you supported our development by purchasing a license, I can offer you a new (lifetime) license for Econap Plus. I'll send you the license code if you send a short email to me (stephan.le@selectcode.de).

I hope this solution is okay for you, I'm very sorry for the inconvience.
If you have further questions, just let me know!

Hello,
my heise license also expired. For a while, I assumed you turned off your license servers, since there was no feedback in the forums, no updates on the homepage and no sign of any of the developers being involved in the maintenance of Econap.

I am happy to see some answers in the forum. It gives me hope that Econap will be developed further. Is there an explanation _ why _ there was such a long silence (roundabout six months...)?

Hi quantum_libet ,

we have been very busy recently with other projects. We're currently thinking about the future of econap.
The problem is that the software is not financially viable. We have not yet found a good business model.
Until then we have paused the feature development and are only doing support and bugfixing.
As far as we know, very few people are willing to spend money on saving energy.
Do you have an idea what we could do?

Kind regrards,

Florian Baader
