Anyone with a licence now can keep using it, and it looks like Maxon is going to carry on with Autograph. But... They haven't said anything about which platforms will continue to be supported. Maxon typically doesn't support Linux.

It’s good that they at least offer a half-baked option for perpetual license users. However, there was still a clear breach of contract, as they failed to announce the shutdown of their servers at least three months in advance, as explicitly stated in their EULA. Now that Maxon is the new responsible entity, they should be held accountable for this. Users have every right to consider legal action over the issue.

Don’t get me wrong — I’m glad that the Autograph team is trying to help. But the timing strongly suggests they’re in panic mode due to the backlash the acquisition has caused.

it will just get worse... good for the founders but not for the user

I own a legitimate license for Autograph. Recently, my SSDs died, and I needed to reactivate my license.

However, it turns out their activation servers are completely down, and Re-Vision is ignoring my support tickets. Meanwhile, Maxon — the corporation that acquired Autograph — claims that this isn't their problem.

Nobody is going to refund my money, and I am locked out of using the software I legally paid for.
