The free upgrade from 6 to 8 is a complete disappointment!   Was working on a project that was suddenly shut down when I decided to download the free update from 6 to 8.  Very convincing is the litrature to upgrade, on their website as well as microsoft windows 7 Solve PC sent this to me; 

Solve a problem with Blue Soleil 6        

Blue Soleil 6 has stopped working properly.

A newer version of this software is available for download that addresses this problem. Blue Soleil recommends updating to take advantage of security and stability improvements.  

Now i can't use the program or bluetooth dongle at all because it limits 2mb and then promptly shuts down any functionality unless you pay for a new serial number.  I won't purchase any other products they offer and especially not pay for another serial # for the product! Their deceit has been a waste of my time.  Blissful Fool
