They havent been unlocked yet for The Hit List, Espresso and BoinXTV thats why you dont have a key/serial to use for these.

sorry - somebody please clue me in. I just payed $39 mostly because I wanted a Hit List license. I've been using the beta for a couple of months now - but wanted a license so I can get the eventual upgrade once they go to a pay mode. But now that I've spent my money - theres no license.
Maybe I dont get the MacHeist model.

Please explain

thanks

If you look at the front page you can clearly see Hitlist and espresso are locked, as is BoinXTV.
Once a certain number of bundles are sold, those apps will be unlocked.

For example, in order for BoinXTV to be unlocked, it clearly shows that they need to have sold enough bundles to have raised $400,000 for charity. I would guess that Hitlist and espresso will be unlocked at the $600,000+ mark. Until then you do not have access to those apps.

I'm having a couple of problems with the apps when they download through "speed download". Zipeg opens up and I extract the files but then when I go open the application it says it is not supported. What am i doing wrong?

Maybe the downloads are corrupt?

Try using the browser to download the software rather than Speed Download, and see if that works better.

Hmmm, noble goals, but quite confusing sales model. I didn't realize the implications of this when I bought the bundle. Turns the Heist into more of a Gamble. This might work out disappointing for a lot of people, which means less contributors next time, which means less money for charity.

On a psychological note: watching the briefing videos and solving the puzzles makes the customer feel he paid his dues and is entitled to his prize (i.e. the full bundle).
Maybe next time downplay the gaming aspect and emphasize the fundraising aspect.

Uhm, I would dare to say that the graphical represenation on the front page CLEARLY indicates that those apps have a different status than the other ones. And before spending money on any app deals on the net, it is always wise to get informed. Sorry if I sound rude, I don't mean to be, but I don't understand people that buy without getting informed and complain afterwards about stuff that is well known.

That said: I am looking forward to The Hit List as well; I am using the beta and the reason I bought the bundle is this app exactly.

The totals have gone up since the 1st Heist, so I don't think it has scared away any customers/charity contributions. As stated elsewhere, MH has never missed an app unlock point to date and I doubt seriously that will happen here either! smile I personally think the last target will be about 700-750K and will be reached. You always have people who wait till the last second-literally-to take advantage of something like this. Have a Blessed Day, Mike

I disagree with your "psychology."  I bought the bundle—despite the fact that there weren't any apps I was dying to have in it—because I have already gotten so many free apps from the missions, and had so much fun doing them. $31/$39 is a small price to pay to support MacHeist.  After getting some much awesome free stuff, I hardly feel like I somehow deserve MORE free stuff?

There must be something wrong  with the WEB page tonite  (There is nothing wrong with my Safari Navigator). I have not been able to download ACORN or the xxxxxList- Acorn was really the reason I bought the bundle.

Could somebody HRELP me ????????

The difficult is done right away, The Impossible takes a little longer.

Will the version of The Hit List be upgradeable through at least v2.0?  Or will it only be up through v1.0? 

I hope this gets unlocked, I've long been a fan of the Potion Factory's apps!

You can download the application, but you won't be able to register it as we still don't have the serials (the applications hasn't been unlocked yet). We need to wait...

If anyone has used Anxiety in the past for a tasks list (which I have an I love it) you can now sync Anxiety with The Hit List.

In the prefs of The Hit List select the iCal calendar you want THL to sync with and then select lists from the drop down on the right side and check all the boxes. Then open Anxiety and set it to the same iCal calendar you used to sync in THL. There you go. It'll work both ways (sync both ways).

Enjoy.

John, if you check my receipt you will see that my bundle was paid for a credit card of a friend whom I split the bundle, but originally the Hit List was associated with my infos, not with the owner of the card. How can I re-associate the key with my own e-mail?

If copying the serial doesn't work, try typing it in by hand. Sometimes you copy extra spaces that confuses the program. Also, make sure you type in your name exactly as it appears in your receipt.
