We REQUIRE Nero 5.5 - NOT 6.
With most other software we are allowed to buy the latest license and
run th older version.
The sales staff said "no" on first request.
We want a "legal" license for about 100 systems.

Does anyone from Nero monitor this group - and if so can we work
something out please.

You can probably buy from places like www.targetmedia.co.uk . There are
several places like this that sell older software. I only see nero6 there at
the moment but it may be worth contacting them and see if they can get 5.5.

Only Nero Express though, but at 5$ a pop

http://www.5dollarsoftware.com/roeacdcr5ba.html
Or Roxio Easy CD Creator 5 - also 5$ (well, it is 5$software !)

I actually found them, SUGGESTED by a Roxio forum admin, as a place to
get V5.

Is Nero essential? - why reward them for forgetting that basic phrase
"the customer is always right", and forcing a buggy/slow/bloated V6 as
the only route.

If Nero 6 had proved itself, you could see the point, but at the
moment, it's only proved itself to be buggier than 5.5.

I Bought a discounted 5.5 Retail, got the upgrade to V6, and then held
fire until 6.3.0.2 - and compared to V5.5.10.42, it still SUCKS.
New BUGS
More BLOAT
Attempts UPNP POLLING
Navigation SLOWER

Why should I expect any different, the same disease is common in Roxio
releases also, only just about right when they start again - aren't
they capable of building on the strength?

See also, www.deepburner.com - free, though you'd better talk to them
if you want to roll out 100 copies

1.65Mb of pure, unbloated Burner, and despite being beta and lacking a
few exotic features, adequate for most tasks you'd expect to do with
bundled burning software - Not only that, unlike some "specialist"
alternatives, it LOOKS NORMAL.
