Smith micro sale 50 % off

sbtamu, Danimal, thanks for the links!

Great to hear that SmithMicro is honoring the discount, but a 50% sale so soon after AS 7's release alienates customers who bought the software around launch, and a lot of them are probably Anime Studio's most loyal supporters. I'm jumping in on this sale, it's too good to resist, but I cringe to think if I had bought this launch day, which I seriously considered doing. I do not understand this strategy at all.

SmithMicro makes more than just Anime Studio. It's a sale for Labor Day. Lots of companies do that. I'm sure we could all come up with theories about bad sales or whatever, but in all likelihood it's just a coincidence.

A lot of companies run sales around the major holidays, which would include Christmas (there was a 50% off sale then as well), 4th of July (in the U.S.) and Labor Day. I came here to see if anyone else had used the coupon for their upgrade and am glad to see it applies! Yay!

So that's in part why I waited for Labor Day before deciding to upgrade. At $129 it was enough to make me wait because I don't use AS all that often, but at half that it's a no brainer.

Definitely sign up for the newsletter. It just takes a second to delete the messages if you're not interested in anything, but it can certainly pay off when you are!

I hope the person who just bought it prior to the sale can get a refund!

If it's any sort of consolation... ToonBoom would cost you a lot more, especially if you wanted Animate. I mean... for what it normally costs to get Animate you could just about buy Anime Studio Pro AND a low end computer to run it on! Anime Studio has come a long way since the days of Moho. The new physics engine looks pretty cool!

I was about to pay for this but Zone alarm told me it might be suspect,
can anyone confirm that the link has https in it rather that http like this...

[url]https://store.smithmicro.com:leftblank/checkout.aspx[/url]

(ignore the left blank bit I did that)
Does this look legit?

BTW love the new icon funk

P.S. Speaking of toon boom specials, they had a one day sale yesterday and I got a new copy of storyboard pro2 down from $899.00 down to $299.00 bux.
You could have knocked me over with a feather and the timing was PERFECT, just when I was in real strife and needing to upgrade just to open files. PHEW!

funksmaname, it's obvious you love the program, I just don't like it when people complain about things that can easily be resolved - it makes it more difficult to complain about legitimate issues, because you are just grouped into the 'moaners' category. It could have been worse - imagine you had bought it 31 days before the promo started. Now that would be a kick in the nuts.

I just want to say to all those with a previous version to 7; I am better than you in every way, because I now have ASP7. It hurts, doesn't it?

Hurts? I believe Freakish Kid (Grey Kid as was) still use 5.6 -- are you better than them? Show us what you can do -- otherwise, all you are talking about is a software version of one-upmanship...
