It still doesn't change the fact that you made a product for free, and then as soon as it became popular, you create a pay-only version and stop supporting the free version. If you had made a Pro version only, which you charged for, and created a CS4 plugin to work with the old one, (which I can't imagine being much of an investment) we wouldn't be having this conversation.

They offer a number of new features and plugins including the CS4 plugin you mentioned but also one for Quark X Press 8 for example. In addition we created a new graphic user interface and networking capabilities for working in teams. A lot of users missed those features in the free version of FontExplorer X and we have put a lot of development effort into being able to offer them now. We are happy that we can offer them now but the resources for developing those features and upcoming plugins made it impossible to offer FontExplorer X Pro for free. regards Lorenz Marketing Director, Linotype GmbH Dear Mason,
