Attention! There have been important changes to the MailBot usage policy!

Please read the updated text of the MailBot license agreement.

What changed:

  • binding (issuing a new serial number) MailBot to additional computers will now cost 15% of the license price

For example, you need to work with MailBot on both your home computer and the server, and you only need the Outlook (Hotmail) module. Now it will cost $111.55 ($97 + $14.55) instead of $97.

What hasn’t changed:

  • rebinding (replacing the serial number) remains free of charge provided that you provide an active serial number that will no longer be used, regardless of whether the hardware on the current computer has changed or the program is transferred to a new one
  • all existing licenses and serial numbers remain active
  • there is no limit on the number of running MailBot instances on a single computer

I apologize to all customers who submitted rebinding requests over the past weekend, but it is no longer possible to continue issuing free new serial numbers.
