The MacHeist bundles are, undoubtedly, extremely worth it -- the software is heavily discounted and you can get a lot for a little...

...but just as a "buyer beware" -- there have been complaints in the past that the licenses/serial numbers you receive with these bundles may not be full-blown, commercial, single-user licenses. For example, the serial numbers you receive in the bundle may not be eligible for free or discounted software version upgrades, contrary to a serial number purchased individually at full price.

As an example, let's say BBEdit 12 is sold in a MacHeist bundle, and the final price is $39. BBEdit 12 is a $100 piece of software if purchased directly from BareBones Software, and the serial number I receive with the MacHeist bundle may not be eligible for the $19 "upgrade" to BBEdit 13 (whereas a serial I purchased for $100 from BareBones would be).

I hope that makes sense. Caveat emptor.

True EDCC - but this bundle is free as in beer - i would be more cautious if i were paying.

True, I noticed that (see my edit reason text). I'd be more worried about it if I paid for the bundle.

I want MarinerWrite really, but only for interest, between textedit, TextMate, Word 2008, Scrivener and CopyWrite i am pretty covered. I guess I am just acquisitive!

Yeah, I'm the same way. Most of the apps I'll never use but I downloaded them anyway. :D

MarinerWrite is now out! :D

They didn't reach the 500,000 mark but they released it anyway.
