Renewed subscription -- getting expired error

Fri Apr 09, 2010 7:36 am

Hi,

Months ago I tried to renew (Dec or Jan) and was brought to an internet page saying that I had renewed, I never got acknowledgment in Mailwasher Pro. After some correspondence and being told that this did not get renewed, I just let it go and decided to work without the First Alert database. :yuck :thumbsdown

Finally I decided to try again and renew. I have a confirmation page with a confirmation number and automated letters saying that this is done and all should work smoothly now. According to the e-mails, I needed to do nothing except enable the database within the tools of Mailwasher Pro.

Guess what? I still get pop-up box that my First Alert subscription has expired and a link to renew it. Then there is another pop-up box saying that there are errors because I do not have a subscription..... Hello!!!! I've already done this twice!!!! :roll: :( :? :cry: :barf :rant :scratch I need HELP!! and perhaps a refund of a doubled subscription. :help

What is going on here? Please fix!

The Firetrust web site says in part <<First Alert is included in versions of Mailwasher Pro 4.0 and higher>> I paraphrase, but the gist is the same.

I have Mailwasher Pro version 6.1

I recently enabled First Alert.

I am continuously getting messages saying my subscription has expired.

Why???

Same thing happening to me.

Received FristAlert expiration notice. Paid for renewal. Received email stating, "Your software will be updated automatically in 5 minutes. No license key is required to be entered."

Well, that was at 5:35 AM PDT, Sunday, July 18, 2010. It is now 4:18 PM PDT same day. I think more than 5 minutes have passed, and I'm still being told that my, "...subscription to the First Alert! global database of spam has expired."

Ya'll take Sunday off?

Sent email on Monday to support@firetrust.com and described issue. Received response Tuesday that instructed me to go to Mailwasher>tools>spam tools>Firstalert and enter my customer ID and password. BUT...the issue fixed itself before I receved the email reply from Firetrust support.
