Quote - i went on Smithmicro to the service pack 3 and it required a credit card.
I agree that the download process for Service Packs is clunky and demands way too much information in too many 'Required fields" for a free patch download. Entering a current serial should be enough. Instead it requires full Billing address, phone # etc, full shipping address, then it pukes because "credit card zip doesn't match" (even though it showed that my card details were NOT stored). Maybe it's a regional thing, my country's zip codes have fewer digits than US zip codes typically do. If that's the case, CPneed to get a clue, not every country has US zip codes (Duh!).
To get past that point I have to save my billing address details to my profile and then delete them again (and hope they are not stored). In these days of major data security breaches I think it is crazy to require so much personal info for a silly patch download.
