Buy a license?
Seriously, I suspect that you're using a camera that shipped with a
copy of out drivers (Unibrain, ADS, Orange Micro) -- since Apple
started shipping free IIDC drivers with Mac OS 10.2, the camera
manufacturers are no longer paying us anything to maintain the driver.
Because of this (and the fact that 1.1 provides a lot of
functionality beyond the Apple driver), 1.1 is free to IOXperts
customers, but a paid upgrade for people who got a driver free with
their camera.
In b51 we found and fixed a bug that was letting old OEM-licensed
cameras run for free.
If you've been doing serious testing and think you've contributed $20
to development, send me the unique ID from your camera and I'll give
you a serial number, but I have to apply the appropriate guilt trip
as well. :-)
(If you think you bought a license, I'll check eSellerate and look it up)
Cheers,
-Steve
