Your shop refuses my credit card and Paypal, both. My guess is because it's lacking the Verified by Visa -system. I'd like to get a 12 month SAAS while the discounts are still in place - any suggestions?

Can you submit a support ticket with your issue? I think this would be the best way.

Since the solution doesn't seem to be a quick one and the promo ends on the eleventh, is there a way to work out a delayed payment to get the promo discounts? The problem is not on my end, it's the online shop you've chosen - in an e-mail response they stated their system does not yet recognize the verification process of pin number/password which Verified by Visa requires in some cases, which leaves me unable to pay for my license at least until I get my card approved by Paypal but since it takes a few bank days to confirm the card holders identity, and there's a weekend between those days, I'm out of luck that route also.

As a side note, to clarify: Looking at the discounts, Rebus states "Validity: until 2016-02-25" would this mean I get the discount render points for every Corona license I buy within that timeframe, or does it mean I get the points if I buy Corona while it's on discount, and the points themselves are valid until 2016-02-25?

EDIT: I'm posting this here in case someone else has similar problems with payment. Apart from this post I'll continue dealing with the issue through customer support.

you will be getting rebus credit for every purchase during the year, and you will stop getting credit in February 2016, and the unused credit you already got will also expire at that point. So yes, you will get the credit if you purchase after our sales promo is over.

We can give you a discount to compensate the promo offer if you'll be unable to pay when the promo is active.

Thank you Ondra, this saved my day. Hopefully your online store provider is able to add the Verified by Visa system soon as it seems to be an issue sometimes. Should I just contact you via PM next week when my credit card has been approved by Paypal so this can be sorted out? Thanks!

Ondra,

I assume this has been discussed before but I want to make my voice heard and see if there is a way.

I'm not a fan of the subscription model and would like to purchase box and then pay for subscription. However, not being able to work on my laptop to and from work (I have a long commute) is a major bummer for me. iToo and many others allow a second license for laptops, is this to prevent people misusing the system?

Could I sacrifice my render nodes and instead be able to use it on a laptop?

Is there a way to pay extra for a dongle?

1.1 is done and we are currently testing it internally. will be released in daily builds when there are no problems in automated tests

I hate the delay, but setting up office, new hardware, and hiring people was a gargantuan task

It's cool! do you what you need to do. 

I find that people sometimes get obsessed with getting new things, and forget that what they already have actually works just fine for 99% of the tasks they need to perform. I do this myself, I just love new things! new toys! new buttons!  The faster the better, but from a commercial work point of view, I don't think I need too much more, other than a few obvious.

anyway keep up the good work! I too will be looking forward to the daily build.

well we promised something, and it is getting late. No bullshit here, people are right to expect updates. I am getting nervous, but we had to bring in more people first to handle the load. But starting from last week, there is new experienced programmer working full time on Corona, so I hope we will get on track soon.
