We believe that using mass email for a shotgun approach of getting us 1-2 more sales isn’t good business, and we won’t use an email in that manner. Nor as we’ve said, do we sell, or share them with other entities to use to sell a different product. Every mass announcement email from us will have a link of http://www.slickedit.com/unsubscribe at the bottom and we DO use this database to prevent mass mailing to customers of product announcements. BTW, as I’m the one who takes care of our email communications, you might be interested in the following: Our unsubscribe rate is less than 1%. Emails gathered from trial registrations are typically considered stale after 60 days and no longer used for future projects. Most trial registrations result in the following emails: -Thank you for registering, here is your trial key -Sales rep offering help during your trial period -Post trial request for survey data about your trial experience (optional) We hate spam as much as you do. (Some of us might say even more.) Best Wishes, Jeffrey SlickEdit Inc. You’re right we do ask you to supply your email address when registering.

Have you ever researched what happens if people can optout from being contacted. Maybe you can rig it so that half the people who download the trial get the current activation form,and the other half get a form where they can optout. This could generate some interesting statistics. Sorry if that sounded nasty. Have you ever researched what happens if people can optout from being contacted.

When you install the trial, you have to agree to let them spam you. I removed the trail within 10 seconds after seeing that. I guess they like losing potential customers. 0.
