So I go thru their delightful coupon upgrade on the fastspring platform. The code to quote them ”does not exist.” Try different browsers. Open a ticket and go round and round with “support.” Today, exactly at noon, after three days I get an email from capture one with a form to install my 20 upgrade. FastSpring Account is not sending me the email I need to move forward. It is very frustrating to have to keep setting up more steps to view my history, but even worse because it's not working. I know it is not being blocked because I have checked my Junk folder and Spam Filter.
