Yes, now that the original question was raised and given that Uwe has confirmed what happens if the user doesn't follow the instruction in the "Add VIN confirm" dialogue box - this information is available to the (handful?) of users/forum members that have read this thread. BUT - really? Does the information in a few posts hidden (perhaps the wrong word) in the RT forum come anywhere close to countervailing the clear instruction in the "Add VIN confirm" dialogue-box that EVERY user confronts when deciding how to proceed?
...
- but my point is that it is reasonable for users to assume that when a pop-up box instruction appears in software, it's a genuine and necessary decision point. And, it's reasonable for a user to assume that if the "cancel" option is selected - the act of doing so will cancel the action.
I understand your (and Dave's) point, but you're looking at it from the point of view of someone who is used to unlimited usage.
The majority of owners of a 3-VIN interface (in our experience at least) are home users with 1 or 2 cars, who will rarely (if ever) plug into a car they don't own, and so may only ever see a VIN entry screen once for each car they own.
Even the 10-VIN users we sell to tend to be home users with a couple of cars who want to future proof themselves for when they replace the cars.
For these people seeing a VIN warning is a good reminder that they are plugged into a new vehicle, and should think about what they are doing. If they click cancel and the function works anyway, that's a welcome bonus.
The other type of 10-VIN user is enthusiasts who regularly use on friends' cars, or even small workshops.
For these users I would suggest, as Uwe intimated, it's more to do with my previous post (#81). The goal is for users to buy the version of interface that reflects the way they actually use it.
If you're an enthusiast and you cancel a VIN pop-up and the function runs anyway - happy days.
If the uncertainty of that happens frequently enough to annoy you, you're seeing VIN nag screens too often, which would suggest you're on the wrong license
