Ambrosia Software legacy continues with Decoder Ring

[joshc]

Apologies if it's already been posted previously, but I've only just found out about it.

At some point, I'm not sure exactly when, Andrew Burch released an app called Decoder Ring, which allows anyone to legitimately create serial codes for Ambrosia products. It's on the usual places, Mac Garden etc.

I know that up til quite late, they were still selling licences but after Ambrosia completely disappeared, there was no way to buy the products legitimately anymore. I guess that's why this came out.

I also didn't know there's a community forum for Ambrosia stuff as well. I don't know who runs it.

That's cool... Means that if my Apeiron install somehow gets nuked, including the preferences, I won't have to try to remember the serial I got from Ambrosia back in 1998.

Wow. This is fantastic news. Thanks for sharing.

And thank you, Andrew, wherever you may be. (BTW: you mention Andrew Burch, but Macintosh Garden references Andrew Welch.)

Hah yes, mixing names up with Matt Burch.

Nice. Even made a BSNG plugin.

Finally free of that dastardly parrot!

I have to admit, after the first time I installed EV on an emulator where I didn't have my registration handy, I got this idea to invert the logic tied to Cap'n Hector... so now every time he shows up, he doubles the value he was previously stealing.

I still have my codes - copies of copies of copies, moved from one machine to another, ...then to VM's which were moved from one machine to another, and now? All the pressure is finally off, what a relief!
I had no idea that there was a group, and that was pretty cool to find out as well.

If there was a 'like' or a 'thanks' button I suppose that I could have said all this much more succinctly.
