  1. "That's the messaging the developer needs to fix. The Download page should explicitly state that the Personal edition is only for non-commercial use, with a link to the full EULA. The application should also pop open a window with the full EULA on initial startup, to drive the point home. After all, if the software looks free, why would you go to a Purchase page?" I agree with this part. The Dev definitely needs to make it clear in the program, but its not required to package a EULA with the software in order to enforce it. Although it honestly should be always packaged, to ensure less confusion.
  2. If you make any income off said video, yes you are required to get a commercial license if it is part of the license agreement (which is posted on their website as part of their EULA). This is quite literally part copyright and intellectual property laws. As stated a EULA doesn't need to have a terms acceptance, its an End User License Agreement not a Terms of Service which are completely different and I think your getting them confused because your blinded by some sort of outrage. I find your last sentence not only humorous but also confusing. Reading the first part of your quoted sentence explains it all "Using OCCT Pro and Enterprise on an after-sale scenario". This means after you purchased OCCT pro/Enterprise you can use it on other computers as long as its removed after your done. This in no way states anything about personal use.
  3. A EULA does not need to be packaged with the software and does not need to be a book to be enforced. They have their licensing information on their current website. Although I can not appropriate this to their old one. Additionally a ToS is not the same as a EULA and a ToS does not enforce licensing information only service terms which he doesn't provide. He only provides a product with his license. https://www.ocbase.com/support/faq-licensing-how-many Edit: Oh and at the bottom of the page https://www.ocbase.com/purchase
  4. Your looking at their new website. This was done long ago, and I still remember their old website which did not really have a clear "pro" or "personal" selection. Additionally, they had the software on multiple sites that did not have anything linking to the pro version which I think is were they got it from based on what @LinusTech mentioned in one of his posts. Don't get me wrong, I agree they should have paid for a license and got it from the official source but the dev also shares some blame on his poor planning.
  5. Personally I think the reason why this has blown up so much is just your stance on Adblock. I agree that your word choice was very poor. Adblock can be a double edged sword, while it is not legally piracy, its still something that takes revenue from the platform/creators which in turn reduces growth. Word choice is the key part of this whole fiasco. It also doesn't help that your rhetoric about the situation is also met poorly and comes off as non-empathetic. Example being The fact that you add " dev THANKED US" comes off in bad taste and can be taken as if you don't think it was wrong (to be clear it was, though it was not intentional or easily noted). I know this probably isn't the intention, but that's just the way it is. At least you did do the right thing and bought a license. I do think you need to address this outside of reddit/forums though, only because there are other people that may not be aware of the response. I only realized you responded to this after revisiting the post on reddit after bookmarking it, had i not then I wouldn't have even known. Lastly, I would really rethink your position on "industry norms" being what you should follow, as they change. I also work in IT and know that it changes rapidly. Not just from a hardware/software point but also from a business point. While it might be a norm, it may not be followed by that given business or group which can make problems like this more prevalent. Them not following the norm also does not make them wrong or bad, due to their business structure or work/revenue flow which there is no way for you to know about before hand. Just my 2 coins. Feel free to ignore or reply.
  6. I have an GTX 670, its old and most newer games I can only play at medium-low settings. I was considering getting this gfx card but funds are quite low currently. Would love to have one of these so I can try out VR or any directx 12 games.
  7. Do you happen to know if there is UV reactive PETG hardline tubing and where I can get some?
  8. Bah, I was really hoping this wouldn't be the case. I was really hoping to get a UV-Green in pastel when soft lighting. Anyone have any idea if there is a possible factory made coolant that offers the same color effects? I haven't been able to find any but of course I can't search the entire web, thats what crowd sourcing is for .
  9. Thank you for the information, as I'm no good at art and do not really do very good with color mixing. Are there any other people that have attempted to get a similar color as I listed in my original post with UV reaction?
  10. Hello, This is my first real "question" post on these forums so I apologize if I'm not as thorough with my question. Also to note, this is my first water cooling build, I've done TONS of air cooled and closed loop systems but never a custom loop. That being said, is it ok to mix coolants? Example, I want to achieve a color like this https://mayhems.co.uk/coolants/pastel-coolants/pastel-concentrate-250ml/green-250ml/ without using any "dye", but I also want to have it UV reactive if possible. Glowing a neon green when exposed to UV in the dark and more of a pastel/matte color when no UV light is on it. Is it possible to mix pastel colored liquids with like a clear UV reactive liquid? Thanks for any replys!
  11. Your computer/internet doesn't need to be up for discord to work as the server itself is hosted somewhere else on discords network. Uptime/stability is based on discords infrastructure. Greatest thing about this free service IMO!
  12. You also might want to make sure you're not comparing network speed to PC performance. If your doing a live transfer from one harddrive on your laptop/PC to your NAS, keep in mind that both drives are something you would need to account for in terms of speed. Your network may be able to keep up but your drives may not.
