I don't want cloud service providers forcing me to buy an application a SECOND time, by limiting my access to installer.
And I'd really prefer not to pay second time. Because that reinforces the behavior of profiting by screwing people up. Maybe it saves my time. But it is unethical.
- ricardobeat 14y agoThey didn't limit access to the installer, he was trying to bring it back from a Time Machine backup. If he had the original disc it would work fine.
- dchichkov 14y agoSame thing really. He couldn't reinstall application that he owned. Because access to the installer was convoluted.
- ricardobeat 14y agoYou bought it on a CD, keep the CD. Before downloading apps was the norm, no company would issue a second copy of something you bought.
- dchichkov 14y agoWell, before advent of app store I NEVER had a case than I couldn't reinstall application that I've purchased. And with the app store, in just a year or so I already had a couple of cases when I lost access to an installer. One was that I lost iPhoto, with OS upgrade on Air. Another, temporarily, for around a week I had no access to XCode installer [because of some screw up in the store].
