Gerard -- Thanks for the excellent ebooks. I have one issue desperately needing your help!

I bought a few ebooks in the past. Unfortunately, my computer disk crashed recently, and I lost the software. The software could be downloaded again, and I had written down my passwords after activation, but I found my saved passwords did not work on the newly downloaded books because they have different "number".

I hope my record of payment had been saved on your side (?) Is it possible to assign me new password? Thanks!

alvin · 12-03-2008, 07:59 AM

Or, I have the original emails sent to me after the payments. I can forward those back as evidence of payment. Sounds fair?

alvin · 12-14-2008, 07:46 PM

Hmmm.... "customer service" needs some improvement. Even if a straight forward "no", is better than silence, IMO.

John Sabato · 12-15-2008, 11:09 AM

Alvin, I suggest contacting Gerard via PM or email... he may not be watching the thread... He has issued new passwords to me in the past for the same reasons...

Alvin,

Good Luck !

I have requested new passwords because of a computer crash......the response was something to the effect of; it is clearly stated that only one password would be issued

These e-books are well written in my opinion, and I have frequently recommended them to new Luger enthusiasts...

I have requested clarification of the password policy from the author and will report his response when I get it. If the policy has changed, then we will no longer encourage members to purchase these books without warning them of the issues...

John Sabato · 12-16-2008, 03:29 PM

I have received a response from Gerard Henrotin... and I will share it with you all. His premise for the small charge seems very reasonable to me...

Hello John,

The policy about re-issuing passwords has been a changed little bit with time because of the ever growing basis of customers through the years (and ever growing "hard disk crashes" occuring - sometimes each year - for very unlucky users).

Re-issuing password is a time consuming job as mails must be replied, former purchases must but traced back in the sale files, and so on.

I now ask for a $3.00 fee for each password re-issued to cover all these costs, and the fact that the customer download the latest (often enhanced) version of the ebook concerned.

Regards

Gerard

His email listed earlier in this thread is valid for those who need to request a new password.
