Hi,
If you look at the support page for Logicity:
www.logicitysuite.com/Support.html
You will see that the "Free Support Option" is meant as a forum for Logicity users to communicate with each other and assist each other. As you can see, by using the Free version of Logicity along with the Free Support Option, it does not really leave us with much to do things like develop, host the site, monitor forums, etc.
But as a service to our users, we do monitor the forums and try to assist whenever we can. One thing to keep in mind is that doing this actually costs us money, not only the time to offer the free support but many times people will get the free support and then never buy the product.
So as an answer I would say that yes, the correct thing would have been to bought the software, especially if you feel that it is imperative to your operations. That being said though, this question is not a support question, it is a custom development request.
We do not post a 64bit version of Logicity on our site. To make a 64bit version, we would have to have a Vista x64 system to test against and recompile our code to be 64bit compatible. For custom development opportunities like this, we typically have to either have a large enough user base for licensing that it makes sense or a customer pays for the development.
If someone makes a request and does not want to pay for the development, we suggest that they post their suggestion in the Feature Requests and Suggestions area of the forum. If we see enough user interest in that feature, we may add it to the next release.
So I do apologize that the level of free support that I offered for a free product did not meet your expectations.
Thanks!
Brian
