The program script didn't find me for the free keycode. I'm off to tech support to see what they can do. Thanks for the update.

So the thirty dollar rule only applies to serenescreen products and not lifeglobe products?

iMark · 02-28-2006, 03:52 PM

it appears so, enigma...at least from the email I received...the only way to get the new fish is to purchase the upgrade, unless you had previously purchased MA and MAT...so for those who don't want MAT, and didn't purchase it before, you are now required to upgrade to the revised product to get the two new fish....

"Yes, the upgrade price has dropped to $5.95, however Sharks and Goldfish
are LifeGlobe products, not SereneScreen products. These are two
separate lines.

Please let me know if you have any questions,

iMark · 02-28-2006, 04:02 PM

From my understanding, the only thing that has changed with MA is the combining of MA and MAT and the addition of two fish...MAT is worthless to me and paying almost 1/3 of the original MA price for two fish seems rather heavy handed....

jleslie · 02-28-2006, 04:11 PM

As I suspected I didn't get a keycode. As I have MA2 and MAT it will be interesting to see what happens when the 3D background comes around...

02-28-2006, 05:41 PM

IMHO, $5.95 for two beautiful salt water aquarium fish that never need to be fed and never die is an amazing bargain. But that's just me...

Enigma · 02-28-2006, 06:02 PM

I agree with Klyntun. I have thousands of $$ tied up in three salt tanks. I love them, but they do require a good bit of time and way too much money. Jim's fish are the best purchase I ever made.

Great work on the new fish! They look great.

Couldn't agree more.

Jim Sachs · 02-28-2006, 06:10 PM

jleslie - If you purchased both MA and MAT, then you qualify for a free upgrade. If you don't recieve a free Key Code in a week, email Customer Support and Auden will straighten things out.

iMark · 02-28-2006, 06:29 PM

As I stated before, it's not about $6, it's that Prolific combined the two versions, then tried to get those who didn't want MAT to pay half of it's regular value(later reduced) to upgrade, in order to get the two new fish....that's bad business, especially aimed at loyal customers...as I've stated before, the fish are dynamite, and if the money were going straight in Jim's pocket, all the better.....

Schnaaps · 02-28-2006, 07:44 PM

Jleslie: As JimS pointed out it appears you should have gotten a free keycode. Customer Support will help you out. Our script could have missed some customers due to "logic hole" caused by all the combinations available etc... and tech support will get that straightened out for you.

When in doubt, contact customer support and be patient as stated many times... :-)

I did a quiet update and the fix is available online now. I forgot to post this earlier. Thanks for reminding me.

Update:
All customers who purchased to upgrade for $9.95 and got the FREE update should have email telling them they received the FREE update and a full refund which should be reflected in next credit card statement.

All customers who purchased the update to $9.95 should have an email telling them the price was reduced to $5.95 and should be reflected in their next Credit Card statement.

At this time, I believe all the refunds are done, and email has been sent to these customers.

28 fish / 2 * $5.95...

The Aquarium should be $84?

As others said, I might feel different if Jim were getting some of that money.

02-28-2006, 11:45 PM

Yeah, whatever.

jsimon · 03-01-2006, 01:24 AM

I dowloaded and demo-ed version 2.6 this weekend, liked it and bought a key for 19.95 - which didn't work. Turns out that the key I got is for version 2.0 - that version wasn't even on the list of available products (not for 19.95 anyway)!!

Has anyone else had that problem? I don't get a response from SerenceScreen. I just got the info "you bought version 2.0". Great. They tell you to download v2.6 and try first (that is what you automatically get when you click on the download link), but then the key they send you is for a different product. I hope this is an honest mistake and I will yet get a response. I'll keep you posted.

Addition from march 1st 2006: I just got a response from Prolific and they did send me a new key for version 2.6. So, it seems like it was indeed just a mistake. They have restored my faith in mankind and I am now a happy user of Aquarium 2.6 :-)

Jav400 · 03-01-2006, 06:15 AM

You have hit a time right when a new product has been ofered and things are a bit hectic at Prolific. You will definately get a response, give it a short amount of time for them to reply.

honybee · 03-01-2006, 10:12 AM

Hello everyone!

I'm new to SereneScreen and the forum. Just purchased and installed v2.6. I noticed that the screen capture in this thread has a picture of 8 fish? My screen only has 7 (+ the starfish). Is there a special way to get more fish on the screen?

Thanks for your help...
