Abandonware?

If you no longer plan on selling your Plugable USB Microscope, would you please consider releasing the source code as unsupported, non-warrantied, “abandonware”? A lot of people would appreciate it. I would think that would be good for customer relations if people could expect to self-support products that you have discontinued.

I, and I am sure others, would like to add missing features - such as adding a save defaults function, time lapse videos, etc.

Thank you for your consideration!

Best regards,

Jim

Thanks for reaching out!

Our software is not abandoned, and is readily available at:

Please let me know if there’s anything I can help clarify!

Hi Sam,

Thank you for your reply!

As Plugable no longer sells its USB microscope nor the software and appears not to have plans for the future, I am requesting that you release your software source. I would like to add a few features to it to make it much more usable for my purposes. It would be much appreciated! I know it’s probably a long-shot, but just asking!

Best regards,
Jim

Thanks for clarifying!

We do currently sell our USB microscope that uses this software, it’s available here:

https://plugable.com/products/usb2-micro-250x

Our old 200X model was discontinued more than 5 years ago in favor of this one.

Hi Sam,

I see. I was looking at the discontinued line. Thanks for your time!

Best regards,
Jim
