Title: beta version out of date
Post by: nige on February 03, 2014, 12:57:52 PM

Hi guys
I tried to use my beta version today but it popped up the message it way out of date. :(

Any idea when a new one will be out or is there any way of using the old one??

regards
Nige

Cancel my last. I have just gone onto the downloads page and found the new release of the Beta version 1401.2

Yes, all betas are date-bombed, which does make sense;
It avoids people using older betas which might contain known issues.

Using the GS911Downloader & the GS911 hooked-up to your computer, you can always download the latest version via the portal, including also the non-beta and so on.

Please bear in mind that every GS911 beta I have seen so far, states

Quote

"This is a Beta version and will expire on (date)"

below the version on the top of the 1st screen.

My practice is to hook-up my GS911 about a week prior to the beta expiration-date and check if a new version has become available already.

Hi Nige,

What am I missing here?  ??? I cannot see version 1402.1 anywhere on the web site. Also, when I use the GS-911 hooked up to the pc, it takes me to the Downloads page which only has 1310* released last October.

Sigh... Never mind.  ::) Realised I needed to use the Downloader again. All good.

Cheers

I don't hope that the new GS-911 get all of the attention.. :'(

Something you see happening all the time, you got a cell phone..and then a newer model comes on the market,
within a few more weeks/months your phone is not supported anymore, no soft or firmware updates anymore...

Well, we have a pretty good track record with GS-911.
We still support and bring out new software for our very first interfaces made way back in 2007 (that's millennia in digital years:).
