IOXperts Video 1.1.2a45 posted

[Steve Sisak]

I've updated the 1.1a46 build on the internal server to have the new 
FireWire SKUs -- at this point, all new purchases should get new 
serial numbers and old serial numbers should be temporarily treated 
as valid until I can get the upgrade SKU working.

If a few of you could try this and make sure it works as advertised, 
it would be appreciated.

If there are no problems, I'll post it to the public websidte in the morning.

Thanks,

-Steve
