I sent an email last night asking about the download and I received an email with the download info.

Now I am about to start the install !!!

The install of the OS went well.  Open Office installed just fine too.

On Disk 2 the smart guide would not start and many of the installs would not start.  It seems like it might be something like GCC library or something.  Has anyone had this problem?

I was able to mount and copy data from a Windows Vista machine now which I was not able to do before.

Same thing happen to me, but I used Paul Ratcliffe's ISOFS V1.0.3 to mount the image: http://home.clara.net/orac/os2.htm#isofs

Then the install program worked, this way you don't have to burn the 2nd and 3rd CD

Well, well,

the biggest uncertainty I'm facing now (and probably lots of other users) is that:
1) I have absolutely no idea how I will get the links and registration: email? my Mensys account? on eComstation.com pages as a software download?
2) I had a Software Subscription but that expired, but now I have my doubts whether I'm still eligible for 2.0 copy,
3) eCS 2.0 GA has been officially released, but I did not receive anything (even on my email) yet, nor have I seen any updates on any pages I would expect to show the download info.

...so regarding the above stated, I'm growing nervous a bit.

Any comments??

My Software Subscription expired too, but received my download link and info from Mensys.  So, I'm pretty sure that you are still eligible. Email Mensys with your info and hopefully you will get your download info the next day like I did.

I, like StefanZ, am getting nervous and disgusted! I have an active SSS, am on the "test team"  also E-Mailed Roderick at Mensys asking for help but --- no response & no links and registration key. I think its "unbelievably outstanding" the work they've done creating eCS 2.0, but I've also never been involved with a group that had poorer communications and concern  with the group of people that supported them and help them get where they are today.

Yes, it appears that I will not be getting mine any time soon either despite having purchased a SSS license back in 2006 (which is a long time ago for me).

Awaiting my download so I can test on my netbook again.

Latest update:

I wrote to info@mensys.nl and asked about the details, included brief description, my name+login name and got a reply within a couple of hours :)

So, lets get started :)

Thank you, Mensys support (and Joachim).

I think this is crazy. I also have an active software subscription since ecs 1.2. Are we supposed to write personal mails to get download links? I can't f-n (sorry for the f-word)  understand why they do not put some information on their homepage.

Hi All

I think we simply have to wait for eCS/Mensys to go through their records regarding Software Subscription and then email Reg Key and download instructions to those of us entitled to the 2.0GA

I must admit to not being in a great rush - I have the RC6a installation working just about right - but will be concerned if I have not heard anything by the weekend.

I must agree that it would be useful if eCS put some information about this on a webpage somewhere though.

Regards

Pete

Hi!

May be they started to handle manually registration before an automated process could take place !

Well, today there is in fact a message on ecomstation.com answering our questions:

Q:As a Software Subscription Services customer, when will I receive the GA version of eComStation 2.0?
A: eComStation 2.0 GA is available for download since may 21st. You will receive an email with a new installation key and download access information. These emails are being sent by Mensys right now, however the process takes a while to complete. Thank you for your patience and continued support.
