Codebook 5 Sync Issue on MBP

[Huntn]

I'm concerned that a "free" Zetetec Codebook V5 Upgrade I applies has resulted in the Synch button is missing. I went to the Zetetic site and found this: https://discuss.zetetic.net/t/codebook-cloud-and-codebook-5-released/6623

• Codebook 5 is a free upgrade, it does not require you to purchase a subscription.
• Codebook Cloud is entirely optional—we would never upload your data to a cloud service without your permission! Turning it on requires creating an account and choosing a subscription

I posted a question to this thread. I'm afraid what they forgot to mention, with Codebook 5 we broke your ability to synch devices with your own vault. I'm waiting for an answer... If needed and possible, I'll revert to V4... I'm somewhat pissed, waiting for their answer.

Ok, I may have jumped the gun. My iPad and iPhone both updated to Codebook V5, and still have their synch buttons, but on my 2016 MBP OS12 (see sig), the sync button is missing. I'm talking to Zetetic's tech support and will post back.

Problem solved, thank you Zetetic Support. Ok I admit I sounded a bit agitated, but I've witnessed this long trend of software switching to subscription models. In this case, that was not the case.

The update to V5 auto switched the app on my Mac to Codebook Cloud as the default synch method. At tech support's suggestion, I went to Preferenes>Sync, it had changed to Codebook Cloud. I changed it back to Dropbox, quit and restarted and the Sync Option came back! Happy again...
