• It worked fine but it is paid and I didn’t see that information anywhere! I am not against paid software but I think it should be explicit.

    UPDATE #1 (01/16/14) The author pointed to me that the info was in the description. Therefore, I am updating the rating from 2 stars to 4.

    “You can comfortably try the service and contribute back to it as a license owner after using it for some days.”

    “=== Professional Service ===
    The dozens of testimonials below are there because this is a professional service. I’m extending a week of Free, completely unlocked usage of the service to www.ads-software.com users, including technical support.”

    It is explicitly mentioned and since it worked fine for you a 2-star rating isn’t very fair at all. ??

    Hummm. Could be more clear. But I will update the rating due to the quick Customer Service.

    Thank you ??

    You should not have changed your note:

    It’s understandable that you’d think this breaks rule 5, but it does not. This is not a traditional plugin; it is serviceware, see rule 6: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/about/guidelines/

    “Serviceware” plugins are defined as plugins that merely act as an interface to some external third party service (eg. a video hosting site). Serviceware plugins ARE allowed in the repository, as long as the code in the plugin meets all other conditions. These are allowed even for pay services, as long as the service itself is doing something of substance. Creation of a “service” which does nothing but to provide keys or licenses or anything similar for the plugin, while the plugin does all the actual work, is prohibited. Moving arbitrary code into the service so that it can appear to do some work is also prohibited. This will be handled on a case by case basis and our judgment on any given case is final.

    The only difference is that instead of requiring payment before you ever use it, I provide it completely unrestricted in features over a period you can comfortably use it and evaluate if it meets your needs.

    OK, I change my review… but not my note.
