I have had Lavasoft Adaware SE Pro software for nearly two years. Unlike other security software i.e. Symantec, ZoneAlarm, which sends you reminders to renew when launch software or through email, I have never received neither from Lavasoft. Other than an email or two about product upgrades along the way, I have not received any other email from Lavaosft. I reconfirmed my email address in the Lavasoft account center is correct. I set a calendar reminder to renew the software last year and this year which expires on December 13. Unless the spam score on any or the Lavasoft email is above a 7 on the Spamassassin scale, I should receive the email.
This is bad if Lavasoft is not reminding customers to renew their software licenses. If it were not for my personal calendar reminders, I could either use the software and get the definition updates for free for some time or the software would fail to stop one day (not sure which would happen).
