I also purchased a license from interwarn.com for the radar. The first time I reformatted my hard drive and reinstalled the software. After this, I installed the interwarn software again and typed in the license number and it would not work. I contacted Interwarn and the response I got back was you have to uninstall the software first and it will free up the license. As I recall they freed up the license.
The second time before switching to a new computer I uninstalled the software. It said that it unregistred the license or something to that effect. After installing the software again and typing in the license number it said not to use the license number again. It would not work. So I contacted Interwarn and informed them of the problem. No response. I tried the license number and same problem. I contacted them again a few days later and no response. So I tried typing in the license number and it worked.
The third time I contacted them after attempting to registrer the license and the same problem stating that I should not use this number. I contacted Interwarn by email with my name and license number on Aug 4 at 9:38PM. This is the response I get back on Aug 4 11:38PM:
Were going to need more specifics. Uninstalling the software would free up your license for use as you so choose.
I contacted the same guy again on Aug 5 12:34AM with this email:
I must have not uninstalled on the old computer at home. I got a new computer and have not used the software since the old one which has been a while. I downloaded stormlab from your site and attempted to enter the username and registration code and I get the error message shown below. The original license was purchased on Sat. 9 Feb 21:25: 09 according to the email print out I have.
I'm not sure what is all needed, but here is the username and reg code and my address. I can email a copy of the original email I got when I purchased the license but I will need to scan the print out at work since I do not have a scanner at home. Let me know if you need that and I can do so. Sent: Wednesday, August 05 6:39 PMok thanks. I'll stick with Weathertap and encourage other's to do so as well
without the licensing issue.

Would you at least be so kind as to inform me as to how we didn't provide timely service in correcting your license issue within 10 minutes of your followup response?

The "OK Thanks" message (and I think you know) means that your silence means you have no intention of fixing the license lock. The problem is it was not 10 minutes. If you would have NOT removed the rest of the email and read it you would have figured this out from the get go. The first email I sent was at 9:38 PM on Aug 4. The proof is in the pudding below. You responded back at 11:38 PM requesting more information. At 12:44 AM Aug 5 I respond back again with additional information with a license number my name, my address and offering to fax a copy of a license I bought months ago. At 7:38 PM Aug 5 I responded back with my final email after I tried to enter the license number again to find it tells me not to use the number again and checking email with no response. Now. We went through this same issue a while back ago where I lost my OS from a disk error and was unable to uninstall the software to free up that license. I waited a few days as I recall and there was no response. I sent another email and the license was finally free'ed up with no return courtesy email informing me that it had been. I just tried it again and it worked. Your software is very nice. Your support needs work. After the customer purchases a license you don't seem to have a very strong urge to offer support. I can understand the license restrictions, but if you are going to control the license from your end, you need to ensure that you take care of the customer or you wont have any. You expect the customer to abide by the license rules, but you don't seem to keep your part of the bargain. It works both ways. I could care less at this point whether you free up that license or not because I moved on to GRlevelX and I can write my own software to extract NWS bulletins to my site. But I do wish you luck with your support problem.
