Well that’s a bummer. If I known this was going to happen, I will had down loaded some of the software.

The starsoft website is back up.

Well, that's a relief. Maybe there is hope for future development after all.

OK, the site is back up. But are people receiving keys for purchases they make?

http://www.starrsoft.com/software/win500/ What's going on with the website. it's down .. did the guy die.. I sure hope not. he has a great product.

 

[ILjim]

The website is not working for me either. I tried accessing via my phone and my laptop to no avail.

 

[rbarker]

So what happened to Don or the company? Did he just decide to give up? or did he go Bankrupt? or is he ill? No one else wanted to take it over? I mean the software is great and scanners are still being sold.

Site is up again. Last I heard, Don was doing stuff for Whistler, but have not heard anything in a long time, and have not seen him online in a coon's age.

 

[MtnBiker2005]

Site down again on June 18th.

I purchased PSREdit500 on May 23 of this year; installed it on a laptop and the laptop finally bought the farm in early July. I want to install the program but he isn't around anymore. I am not overjoyed with the Butel ARC500 software. I have both a PRO-96 and a WS-1040 that I want to reprogram. I have the license key. Is there a work around for getting the program or am I out of luck?
