bello now owns IPCheck. For some reason, however, bello decided they would try and rip off Paessler's customers by changing their policies. Users who purchased IPCheck 5 now have to
re-purchase it.
We found this out the hard way after finding many bugs in IPCheck 5. It turns out that if you want IPCheck's latest patch (still version 5) you have to re-purchase, at a higher price, with a lower support period. In effect, they are double-charging those customers loyal enough to have already paid for the IPCheck 5 service (version level upgrades ceased to be free @ version 4).
What they are doing does in fact break their agreements with current customers. On the flip side, the actual software is great. Their approach to customer relations, though, is another story. We have now purchased IPCheck
three times, and barely even broke in to a second version
