Macheist bundle 2008

[BitterB]

Why not wait until end?

So, if the MacHeist lasts for a certain number of days, and with each passing day and more purchases more apps become 'unlocked', why would someone buy early instead of later in the cycle?? I mean, it seems it's better to wait until the end because you'll get more apps then if you bought earlier.

Am I missing something here?? This MacHeist thing is a new thing for me. Maybe I just don't get it.

Even the person who placed the very first order gets every single app that is unlocked.

Hi,

Just for clarification, if I order now, and other applications become available, I will be entitled for those as well?

Can someone please confirm that, or point me to where that is stated? That's the only reason why I am waiting to buy right now - the fear that something else will be available in the next few days.

Please advise!

Thanks so much!

Yes, you will receive access to all of the programs that are released after you purchase. The last to be added was wingnuts and if you click on the description it says that the licenses are now available on your order receipt. So if anything else is added you'll be able to find the license information there.

Thanks!

A new app is now available in the MacHeist bundle. You now get WingNuts2 and Tiki Magic Mini Golf. You need to check your order receipt for registration information for both. A welcome addition!

I bought the bundle and I love Cha-Ching. I purchased it for Snapz Pro, 1Password and AppZapper, but may end up loving Cha-Ching, and Awaken as well.

Ok, after reading this thread I'm convinced. Macheist here I come...

If you guys/gals buy into this, you might want to use a throwaway email address. I bought the original bundle last year, and am still getting MacHeist spam - despite following their "unsubscribe" instructions repeatedly.

Is this the bundle where you're not entitled to any updates when new versions of the apps come out?

 

[joeswinehart]

I think I'll get the bundle, I've wanted Snapz for a while and a few other gems are in there. If anyone else hasn't bought yet but plans to do so, we could trade referrals and each get LaunchBar added for free...I wouldn't mind adding a bonus to the mix. If you are interested, PM me.

Does anyone know how to download these? I tried the demo but there is no place to put the serial number. When I click on the links on my MacHeist receipt site I always get a pop up that asks for my user name and password to download. Confused.....

OK, I am downloading Wingnut now from the MacHeist order page but there is not a link to the Tiki Golf. It takes you to their website and then when you click on download demo it asks you for a username and password. If you click on login or cancel it states there are the maximum of 25 users logged in.

VectorDesigner was added to the bundle. Yes, that best of MacWorld program. Cool.

D'oh.

Oh well, that's just more food for the Gmail spam-eating machine.

I don't even own my MBP yet (waiting....waiting....waiting....). Is it dumb to purchase the MacHeist II bundle now?

(True confessions....I purchased Office 2004 to get the Office 2008 deal....)

You don't need to download or register them right away. I bought last night and won't have my new MacBook until Friday. They list one of the apps as OK to not register until at least July. Then again, I guess it depends how long it will be until new MBPs come out.

First, you have to load the programs with the links they give you. Some programs do not work if they were loaded previously. You may have to delete and load again. Keep you email with your codes and link information. Always write your name the same way and use the same mailbox account. Everytime a new program gets added a letter gets sent to give you the registration number. Some numbers are not done right away. There should be a link to your MacHeist account with all updates until the deal is over.

Yes, some of these programs are fluff but you only need 3 good programs to make it worth your while and this group is good, it's a little bit of everything. Sometimes it's worth spending $50 on one very good polished program but sometimes its interesting to spend $50 on packages so you get a taste of how other programs do things. I would never visit the websites if it wasn't for bundles like this.

I already have Freeverse Big Bang Board games and never gave Wingnuts a thought. Now I play Wingnuts all the time.

Just don't wait TOO long. I found that out the hard way. I tried to register my copy of DEVONthink a number of months after the heist, and the site just would not give me a registration code. I finally contacted support and they basically said they stopped giving out Heist codes long ago because the codes "got around". Luckily he did give me my code in the end.

Also, another program was at version 1.8 when the heist went on, is currently on version 2.1, and I missed the "discounted upgrade if you order by" date, so I'm stuck with an older version.
