We purchased ActiveReportsJS. The documentation is so poor about license activation. (designer and embedded web viewer) I am not able to connect to a database using designer to build the report.

I originally purchased the spreadsheet product when it was part of Wijimo. The product has evolved and is very good but the licensing has been a source of a major amount of frustration and has inhibited our development. As a long term user I feel like I have not been treated fairly. I should have been grandfathered when your went to server based licensing.

The products and features are good, but being tied to specific Visual Studio versions is a huge burden to pay for, maintain, and release. We literally don't want to use your products anymore but our applications are so tied to them we have no choice for the foreseeable future.

+ Several C1winform controls are user friendly and you can get a nice application easly with them - It was an error to use C1 in our windows app but now removing it's too expensive. The appllication is slower than the same with default .net controls and the worst think is when you need help or examples, the documentation is poor, with native .net controls you can find anything you want on MS, stackoverflow or other forums.

Spammed with emails every day since buying 1 product.

I need ActiveBar 1.0, was told that you will send me all versions, but now I am still waiting version 1, you only provide version 2 and 3, but I really need version 1.
