Australian law and US law is clear — piracy is a crime.

At times it is a godsend to be able to VNC to a pc and resolve minor problem quickly when I am busy than to go to the workstation directly. also the other managment features help greatly as I have been working through some network issues. I have priced other managment software and believe me this is the best buy for the price and has more features than other programs that I have used in the past that cost over $2,000.00, so Kudos to you my friend and keep fighting the good fight.

I work in a high school as a computer skills teacher. I have students that work Help Desk for me and this is a great piece of software. We recently went to VISTA and Bozteck did not work with my VNC but I finally got it to work the way I needed it to work to allow my student to work on computers with giving up any passwords. Last week I gave a talk on my Help Desk to many schools in my district they were very interested in your software. I make sure I get a license every year it is a small price to pay for what I can do with your product. Thank you Two years working with Bozteck. I work in a high school as a computer skills teacher.

I pirate just about every piece of software i have on my machine, all from the big name companies who think for some damn reason they should charge full price per license per machine. It is sad to even hear that someone has stuped so low as to even waste their time trying to crack a program such as this. Your generosity is as amazing as your program its self. I couldn't get my credit card out fast enough to purchase this software!!! As a fellow developer myself, when i came across this piece of software i was blown away at the licenseing cost.

I hate to see this happen to such a good small company. I hope it doesn't hurt your revenue to badly. I think this post is a good start to make people think twice.

We have been using this software for about 1.5 yrs. Have 3 admin licenses and renewed support after 1 yr. I wish I has a dollar for each hour of time it has saved our not-for-profit agency supporting about 300 systems at various locations. Recommend it to anyone I can. Well done & said.
