Where do we get the final software and how do we go about using it?

Do we simply install and it will recognize our license?

Also - what are the differences between the free and premium software?

FYI - I am on a mac

I am also on a mac and would like to know if what I have installed now (the beta) corresponds to the free version of the software, or to the premium version. Since we contributed to the development by testing the beta, I expected we beta testers would get a premium version. Is this correct?

Agreed.....Great Question!!!!

April 12, 2011 8:00 PM

Agreed. I also just realized I deleted my email with my beta key. :-( How to recover that?

The beta license is the premium license.

So you can use it with the latest software from the www.pogoplug.com.

@dcummins
Ask support at support@pogoplug.com to get that license code for you.

My beta license is now only showing a free license

Edit:
I was able to re-enter my beta license code after clicking on "Enter premium license code" and it re-enabled premium access.

I just got a software update notification from the beta pogoplug app. It did let me download the latest version. I installed that. It asked for the license code during installation. I entered the beta code and this was accepted. I now have the premium version installed. All looks great.

I should say I was disappointed by the lack of communication on this forum, however bugs were addressed and everyting looks fine right now, so thank you to the cloudengines staff, great job. Original, and useful software and hardware devices :) (But what about a little more interactivity on the forums? This would be the cherry on the cake :)

It's like MaGiC! Moments, and I literally mean moments, in seconds, I clicked the update choice residing in the pogo icon located in the tray. A message appeared that there was an update.

I have an update of 3.0.1 and I entered the Authcode I got when the beta began. It neither rejected me nor did it tell me I won the "cupie" doll. I have a different appearance on the desktop. No clue what it is. Guess the "Pogo gODs" were reading my note about "whaszzz up?"

All my "crap" is there. Still does not recognize the printer (samsung?) on the network but that was explained in that only HP and Epsom were recognized at the moment.

Wonder what other goodies are with this version.

How does one know it is the "Premium" version or written another way, "What is it that I have and how do I make reference to it?" I take it, it is no longer the Beta-flavor?

Okay, I will sit and wait for the next "Pogo Prophit" to guide me into further understanding. BTW, where is Nick when ya needs em?

I'll be watching, reading, and PLaying ...

Later, the Pogo Farmer

I forgot to ADD/QUESTION how do I move this "thing" to another computer and what about that long Key that one could see in the Beta? Do I have to keep the "Authcode" forEver? Is the Authcode and the big long Key and "pure luck" the only way I'll get this software off this computer I sorta borrowed to play in the beta.

Or, am I to late and someone else has already asked these questions????

Okay, never mind. The big long key is where it was in the Beta. It is in the Pogo tray icon under Open Pogoplug Preferences. AND, "YES!" it shows that I have the premium license. My, how "tax preparation" places one's head in the dark spot when facing North and applying it to the South end. I can also unRegister in the panel so I am presuming that I can move this "Toy" to where it should be.

Well, "Thank you!" for allowing me to answer my questions.

I think I am done. I hear a client's tax return calling me. Yech!

Pogoplug Farming(tm) is Fun!

Yes - it happened today (as this morning's email from Pogoplug said it would).

When I logged on to my mac I immediately got a message that an update was available. I downloaded it and then ran it. I entered my beta license where it requested the Premium license (optional, so I am assuming that there is a single software for both the free and premium, so if you download the free version and have a beta code, that would work just as well.), and it worked perfectly. I do show that I now have the premium version installed and working.
