Hello SBIecommunity. My License has now expired, and i just stumped upon that "Maintenance" notice while trying to buy a new one.
I became pretty dependant on SBIE during the last year, and now... what can I do? How do I get a new license?!

Seth I sympathize with you. Whatever the cause, I'm sure it's not an easy situation for anyone involved at Sandboxie central. And I look forward to your clearing up some of the mystery as I am sure others do as well.
But I see another problem.
How will the "server problem" explanation pan out.
If it was a server problem, either Sophos has the most incompetent IT operations in the computer industry and after all this time has STILL been unable to resolve an issue that resulted in the complete cessation of revenue from Sandboxie or they have been not only lacking transparency about what the problem is but actually telling their customers a lie about what was happening and giving them false information.
Neither one of these possibilities sounds very appetizing to a customer nor instills a sense of trust in the relationship.
And, if we now are going to be told that it was NOT a server problem, but in fact something else, that wouldn't help with the trust issue much either would it.
At this point my best guess is that Sophos will announce someone else bought Sandboxie. But we shall see.
From a customer's perspective I think the important thing is to have Sandboxie in the hands of a reliable, honest, trustworthy and competent developer. Let's hope that is the final result. This is an outstanding and unique program. It deserves that kind of home.
"At this point my best guess is that Sophos will announce someone else bought Sandboxie."
Or that they are spinning it off.
My fantasy: Ronen Tzur saves the day by acquiring Sandboxie once again.
He poured his brains, energy, and sweat into creating and maintaining this once-great program. He was always involved in the forums. He was always responsive to problems. He was always upfront and honest. A straight shooter. What a class act.
For those of us who have been long-time users of Sandboxie, it's sad to compare and contrast the Ronen Tzur days with what we're experiencing now.
Let’s hope that Sophos do sell it, but not to some clown outfit that only wants to milk the user base until it dies through lack of development.
Appreciate the efforts in keeping a push to feed us some cues as to what's actually happening, and of Sandboxie's future.

Perhaps they have the most incompetent IT operations in the industry, AND they are lying as well.

Why's that confusing? Would you rather Sophos releases absolutely-nothing and continues that trend?
I'd rather something (anything) to nothing.
