Negative. As mentioned in my previous post.

Hello All,

Softronic can be located at HTTP://SoftronicSoftware.com and the old site of Softronic.us will forward to it. No other site is Softronics. We will be posting a discount on 6Speed in the next couple days and all orders should go to us directly.


Best Regards,
Scott

VR, will you write me a check for $160,000 if something happens to my car because of the tune? I would need all of this in writing and would have it looked over by my lawyer.

So you are changing www.softronicsoftware.com as well or is that going to Vivid? Isn't clear?

All I can tell you is this approach is nothing new. Wal-Mart is known for copying and selling every thing that's in demand heck they even copy the baby formula, keeps it few cents lower and ignorant people buys them all day long.


Kroger does the same thing and I am sure other stores too.


So long as Vivid has the funds and ***** to back things up should something goes wrong, then it's OK or else the consumer is on his own.

The new site is the link he placed in his post. If you go to Softronic.us it advises you that the site moved and takes you to the new(current)-only site now, which is www.softronicsoftware.com.

That has been my exerience anyway. I think he is politely suggesting to go only to his new site for his products.

Hope that helps. BTW...I have dealt with Scott and Softronic and appreciate his product(s) and service....But other than being a happy customer, nothing I have suggested is official and have no formal affiliation...just trying to answer your post....

I'm not really seeing your point on this one. That is a pretty simple, straightforward procedure and about the same as any other flash I've done over the years.

My point is that I said..."anyone that has Softronic" look at the instructions. It looks exactly like it, minus a few logos. Cannot believe they can do that with copyright laws etc.. So am shocked how close this looks to the instructions I got for Softronic...even the app and screenshots...
