- Yeah, Rick's letter certainly *sounds* suspicious, but it turns out
- that what he was requesting is valid. Executor was first released for
- NEXTSTEP three years ago. ARDI was doing well selling on that
- platform until NeXT suddenly stopped making NeXT hardware. We had to
- temporarily shift our emphasis from Executor/NEXTSTEP to Executor/DOS
- (which is where the money is) and Executor/Linux (which is where we do
- our development). For a long time our NEXTSTEP customers were left
- without new versions of Executor to use, and 1.99q will be the first
- experimental NEXTSTEP version to be released. As part of the porting
- process, we changed the format of our serial numbers and keys and as
- such, we have to reassign S/N and keys to all our NEXTSTEP customers.
-
- So, in the meantime, we publicly released a Executor/NEXTSTEP key that
- was good for all of October (and then a new key that was good for all
- of November) that anyone can use to unlock Executor/NEXTSTEP between
- now and when we finally get everyone their new keys. We really
- thought we'd get this done in October, and then we thought we'd get it
- done in November, but, as you can see, things slipped, so we had to
- issue a new key.
-
- Whew!
