Reply To: The Best Service Website Is BACK!!! [The Deals are Back!!!]

I haven’t seen any rumors posted here, only questions and speculation.

A LOT of people have personal stakes in the continued existence of Best Service.

For starters, it is a chilling reminder that all of these license validations that require a handshake with a server depend on that server being around for a long time.

When designing and engineering products, the consideration “what becomes of our customers if we go out of business” seems never to be on the table. Who wants to think about that or bring it up?

One of the things that I respect about BandLab is their keeping Cakewalk’s old registration server online over these many years. It would be nice if they also got rid of Cakewalk’s zombie website, but….forget it, Jake, it’s BandLab.
