B*st*rds! I've just found out my peerage is no longer valid! The missus bought it for me last Christmas, for a relatively reasonable fee, direct from the iBlair website. I've had the odd issue with it since, such as periodically needing to ring a premium rate number for a new activation code if I want to use it at a different site, but all-in-all it was money well spent.
Unfortunately, as iBlair went out of business earlier this week, I'm left with an unsupported product. It works fine at the last registered location (a pub not far from the beach in Sheffield) but I can no longer get a code to enable me to use it at home or work again. A new outfit is willing to re-sell me the exact same peerage, but claims it's not contractually obliged to support products brought from iBlair. I shall be having a nose around the iBrown site over the weekend, but I'm not hopeful.
Thank God software isn't sold in such a fashion. Or, heaven forbid, music...
