Web site Service updates - Monday 9th March 2026

Web site Services updates - Monday 9th March 2026.
Over the past months we have experienced a huge increase in attempts by malicious 3rd party actors to disrupt service for our primary domains and web site. In particular at specific times each week we have noticed automated attempts to break down our defences and it has been necessary this weekend to take action to ensure that both ours and our clients services and data are always adequately protected.

This is a regrettable but not surprising consequence of the staggering increase in our sales over the past 2 years - up over 100% for our most popular products - as many of our competitors have ceased to provide their products on anything but the 'subscription model - forcing clients to pay greatly increased (and far more lucrative for them) monthly or quarterly fees,  should they wish continue to use their software products and applications. It is our firm intention to continue to offer our products on a perpetual license, with no mandatory monthly, quarterly or annual fees.

During the course of today as these services are updated and propagated you may notice a temporary deterioration in response times to web site requests and  delivery - we sincerely apologise and will do our utmost to keep any interruptions to our services to the absolute minimum.

Thank you for your understanding and patience as we act to improve our security and defences against these criminal and nefariously motivated groups.
