annual update fees
Grizz:
My concern is will I would have to make sure I download the latest stable version(s) (PC & Android) and
keep multiple copies archived to make sure I don't get charged every time I get a new PC or phone.
I only have one older bike (2000 k1200) so I don't use it often, but when I do use it I would often download the latest beta, considering it a favor to hex to do some regression testing for them. I'd probably stop doing that.
The problem hexcode will have charging an update fee is bad PR.
Once people get used to getting something for free they get upset if they get charged for it.
Here's a link to a story about the phenomenon:

PS WTF? I have to look up maximum torque figure for the R1200GS LC to post - that's silly
Haakon:
All the sofware ARE free!
For now.
If you register "here" that question will not pop up any more.
If you can not answer a new question will be asked.
It is just a precaution to try stop "bots" from registering.
Other forums often use pictures of codes- very often so hard to get right that I must try several times.
Oh well
Grizz:
Not sure what you mean by register "here". If that was meant to be a link it was not.
I did register for and login to the forum. I still get prompted for a distorted image CAPTCHA and a question.
Mostly I thought making the question about specs of an individual bike was a bit much.
I looked it up and still got it wrong - maybe they wanted foot pounds instead of newton meters.
Haakon:
My "here" was this new Hexcode forum.
I registered once and it worked- I can reply to old and make new ...
I hope the Hexcode crew will get your problem fixed, soon!!

no, what is silly is 600 spam posts in one night... took both Kobus and myself the better part of a whole day to clean the forum up... now that 2 man-days that we could have been developing GS-911... so for now, there are stricter posting requirements... you have to authenticate the first 5 posts...
now I can only imagine the amount of WTF you would have given had you have to deal with that....
