I have been using ICU115 for two years, a webcam/chat program to keep in contact with my two brothers one in Ozz and one in Canada
I bought the programme thinking it was a one off payment. Well earlier tonight I found the programme has been blocked and it transpires a licence has run out and I must pay umpteen dollars to reregister. Anyone help? I have latest Bigfish mahjong game with reg number if anyone like a trade

ICUII for chatting with family? Blimey, I knew there had to be someone used it for the intended purpose!

Seriously though, befor you go shelling out big $$$, check the most recent versions of MSN, Yahoo etc.
They really have improved.

If you're going to break the law, why not just google?

or pay... software doesn't magically appear, it's developed by hardworking companies trying to make a living for them and their employees!

Skype is meant to be quite good for talking aswell. It's owned by EBay nowadays hence my reluctance to use them mind.

You can talk as a group aswell, although you can't 'ring' them so to speak.

Teamspeak

Used by lots of gamers for multiplayer games, but you need to have a fixed IP to configure the server.

Twas recently ruled that the sale of second hand licenses is legal.

Most software license agreements include a clause which says you can't resell it. So assuming you've agreed to that (which like it or not you have), how can it then be legal to resell the license? By "you" I don't mean you, rather a general "you", probably should have said "one" but I didn't want to sound like the queen!

I don't know the exact ins and outs of it, but IIRC there is/was a company in the UK reselling licenses for MS software. MS tried the usual lawsuits and lost. I can only assume there's no such clause in the software they were selling, others may be different though.
