The fact that you require the serial number for software that property and only works on your printer is absolute madness in the first place. But why does it need re-registering EVERY SINGLE UPDATE. It makes no sense and drives me up the wall.
Madness download for pc [key serial number]
It's not Z-Suite itself, it has to be something with your Windows (Registry). If you won't be able to solve it by yourself - I've made a *.REG file - download it, open using notepad and type your serial number between " ". Double click it after update so you won't have to put it manually.
He is talking about the fact that on the Zortrax Downloads section on the main site you have to input the printers serial number to get any software. I too find this a mild annoyance. If I did not own a Zortrax and I wanted to get the FW or SW I could just ask a friend for their SN. The barrier is so low that is it only there to annoy those who have to step over it to get at the goods.
Literally the only people that the serial number check affects are genuine Zortrax owners. There are plenty of scenarios where a genuine owner might want to download the software and not have the S/N at hand, this is bad for owners. Scenarios where a non-owner wants to download the software are basically non-existent.
TBH Marcin it sounds like you are perfectly aware of how stupid it is to ask for the serial number every time (or even once), but you work in a company where you have had to resign yourself to accepting other peoples highly questionable decisions. An attitude of frustrated resignation permeates this forum when it comes to decisions made by Zortrax.
Actually just realized a convenient way to store the serial number for zortrax forum members is to register it in the profile to get the z-members tag. Then will always have it, just a login and click.
Besides, the checksum algorithm for the serial number is pathetic (and makes you wonder if the person who implemented it fully understood the arithmetic used there), I needed like two hours to write a keygen for it.
My take on it is there really isn't an issue. I have a lot of professional software where to get it I have to 1. login 2. download, 3 enter a serial key during install. All Zortrax has done is used the serial in place of the login. In some aspects, it's simpler this way as one doesn't need to setup an account. The serial is easy to store in accessible places already mentioned, like you would for any software with a key.
