Default InspectWare users Beware

If you use inspectware software Beware! If you have a system crash and have to call in for an unlock code they will charge you $59.00 for that unlock code even after you have already paid for the software.

I've had HG for years... When I updated computers (added a laptop and recently a new desktop) all I ever to is ask for another activation code...

Great CS from them...

I have HIP, InspectVue, HomeGuage and inspectware All of them reactivated the software except Inspectware. They want an additional $59.00 to give you the key again.

Just to make it clear The software i am talking about is Inspectware at http://www.inspectware.com/ It is NOT inspectvue. Lorne Steiner stands behind his software. Inspectware does not.

Now for an update on the practices of Inspectware. I just opened my mail and there is a bill from inspectware for $125.00 for tech support. Just so happens the day they have listed is one of the days i was in the hospital with a stroke. This company's business practices gets better and better. I guess Monday i will file with the BBB of there state.

How do you get a bill for tech support, do they charge by the hour or something? I thought all the companies pretty much worked it into their program cost, or a yearly sort of fee.

I have no idea I just opened the letter and its a bill for $125.00 for tech support. Now if they were at the hospital and were one of the ones that helped save my life i would be happy to pay it. But i dont remember seeing any home inspectors at the hospital.

Henry,

Take it easy please, for yourself of course, but for all of us...don't want anything crazy happening..!!

My long awaited appointment at the Mayo Clinic is Monday morning to see if they can come up with a way to fix my pancreas without ripping me apart (radical surgery) nobody else in Phoenix or Scottsdale can fix me, hopefully the specialists at the Mayo can....I have inspections scheduled everyday next week EXCEPT Monday.... ...so I kind of know the feeling of being in a position where your health trumps everything.

Take care Henry,

Dale

Email me Bob @ nspexdd@yahoo and I will give you information about the health, eye, Rx, and dental plan I have, which I have had for about 8 years now. My premium price has only increased by $20.00 in the last 8 years.

For myself, it costs $183.00 per month, they pay 80% of anything major, pay 100% for MRI Cat Scans if related to a particular issue, not just having them done for preventative maintenance, they pay about about 95% of all prescription costs, pay for continued doctor visits if the reason is for the same issue, other wise only one visit a year is covered free for a physical.

I have never used the eye or dental plan yet, my uncle is a dentist, and my eyes are kind of OK--))....reading glasses at Walgreen's is all I need for small print (so far)--))

Thanks Dale I will keep that in mind.
Right now I am bare bones newbie taking a gamble.
Had health care most of my life.
Use one dollar specials my self and got the two hundred dollar jobbers when my arm got too short.
Stick with the cheap ones as you can use different strengths that way.
