A disreputable and untrustworthy company
I bought Nitro Pro and regularly upgraded the program over the years. A few days ago the company did something to disable all installed perpetual licences, forcing customers onto their subscription model. I have never heard of a software company doing anything so completely outrageous. If it is not unlawful behaviour, it is certainly grubby and disreputable. I wouldn’t touch this company with a barge pole and nothing would induce me to spend another cent on any of their products. On edit: the patronising excuse trotted out by the company below is vacuous. I have an old washing machine that the manufacturer no longer supports. Does Nitro think the manufacturer is entitled to break into my home and steal it to force me to buy a new one? This is the exact equivalent of what Nitro Software has done: deliberately and without my consent crippling software on my computer because they rather like the idea of forcing customers to move to their subscription model. I have never heard of a software company pulling such a thoroughly shameful scam. It is quite unbelievable.
