This is exactly the issue of Companies building in Kill switches into Apps and Programms , Smith Micro, Bondware, Microsoft, Apple etc. there all the same control freaks. Happen already with the SM Bondware fusion, they hit that Kill switch and you have to play there little game.

So just Imagine what would happen if Microsoft or Apple would just say one day " Sorry we do not support our Programms any longer " turning off all licenses, shutting down all computers and the Internet with just a klick ! We live under a Diktator cyber world nothing else , and every company wants to dictate a little in there own way ! But all this is the way we want it, giving them the rights do add these features into apps and Hardware letting Companies control you.

Well, my question was rhetorical but you’ve summed it up pretty well. Sometimes it takes a number of years before a consumer realizes how shabbily they’re being treated in general. Maybe there was some sort of rule that prevented Bondware from posting the fix that the community is now sharing. Maybe I missed it. Or maybe it’s “just business.”
