Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have several versions of several of Nuance's products. They cannot be used because of the draconian activation system. Nuance will tell you that you can "deactivate" or uninstall the programs to re-install it on another computer. This is not the case. Their "activation" server seems to work flawlessly, but their "deactivation" server not at all. They do not care about repeat business and their customer service is non-existent, unless it is to sell you the newest version. I have recently purchased this program and it is now useless because I had to install a new hard drive on my computer. When it was working it was a difficult to work with. I will never buy another Nuance product again. I also have the same activation problem with Paperport and Omnipage (which is a resource hog). They do this on purpose, as it would be easy to provide an alternative system that did not rip their customers off. MS Windows, for instance has a telephone activation system for reinstalling the operating systems on a new hard drive when you have already activated it.I have been a Scansoft/Nuance customer for over 10 years, but no more.
