BlueSoleil software, don't get latest version

I have Bluetooth software BlueSoleil for some time it came with Bluetooth Dongle.

For the last few months whenever i switch on it ask me to update to newer version 6.4.299.0. I was fedup of this message and then went for update one day, i also thought very good service who else can remaind when they have new upgrade. Brilliant service i thought.

After installation it popped up with another message, this is valid for 30 days, this version cannot transfer more than 2 MB like that. I was shocked. It was really nightmare to go back with old one.

Based on my experience, please don't update that software.

    It is mentioned in the upgrade (download) page.

    Did the upgrade download automatically without taking you to the download page first??
    Notes:
    1. BlueSoleil 6 is fully compatible with Windows 7.
    2. BlueSoleil 6 users can free upgrade to this latest version and enjoy new functions.
    3. For BlueSoleil 1.x/2.x/3.x/5.x users, it is NOT free to upgrade to BlueSoleil 6 as BlueSoleil 6 adds many functions besides Bluetooth. (more details about upgrade policy)

    Nice tip, not sure which version of BlueSoleil software I got with my dongle, I would not bbe happy to find myself paying any extra to use it, think I will leave the installation on my XP then try installing it on my W7.
