I believe that:
ANYDvD is a true SlySoft product, while CloneDvD and CloneCD are originally products of Elby in Switzerland. ANYDvD when purchased directly from SlySoft (in Antigua) carrys a perpetual license. Slysoft acquired CloneDvD and CloneCD from Elby (don't know when, but at least a year-ago.) If you purchased either from Elby, the products will probably expire, but PURCHASE THEM FROM Slysoft and the licenses are perpetual. I got this directly from Slysoft. The products are so fantastic that I will likely send some more $$$ in November, when the first year is up. Always upgrade versions when notified, as that is the only way to keep up with changes to copy protection. As soon as SlySoft discovers some new copy protection scheme, an upgrade to ANYDvD will be forthcoming shortly.
