Leo Fender was a genius says - "misanthrope" (London) - See all my reviews

This review is from: 3ds max 4 (CD-ROM)

I purchased 3ds Max for £3,500 and spent a further £3,000 to upgrade it. I now find that if I wish to upgrade the product yet again to version 4. Discreet will not let you do it - unless you pay another £1,500.

Discreet are total rip off merchants. Steer clear of them. I have never had any support. I have never had any news about upgrades. Just pay out, payout.

I can understand why so many people in London buy the £10 fully cracked version of Max version 7. The company does not deserve respect.

My license number is: 640-00784104.

Speak out tell it how it is. We the public try to be decent and buy legitimate software and get no support whatsoever, just endless upgrades to make money out of us. I flushed over £7,000 - $10,000 down the crapper with this company. - - Avoid them.
