Me too.I've been do looping Step 0. It it time to step out of the loop?
Word of warning, don't switch back and forth between BI4 and BI5, it will create problems. Uninstalling BI4 will mess up BI5 settings so make sure you back up BI5 settings. I would make a backup using REGEDIT because it works outside of Blue Iris.All in all... my installation went flawlessly. Granted, I do not have an extensive Blue Iris setup configuration either.
Also, have not yet removed anything from the BI4 related.
Is BI5 maturing to the state it’s a good idea to make the switch?I've been do looping Step 0. It it time to step out of the loop?
Set them backup from scratch.The issue with "Sync Profiles" is solved?
Not that I can see. Just tried to import my cameras and they are all still sync'd to profile 1 and none of the other profile settings gets imported. This was with version 5.0.2.5. Does anyone know of a fix?
Yes I could definitely do that but with 10 cameras and each one using all 7 profiles and different alerts and masks per profile that would take a long long time. Not to mention you can't open both versions at the same time so I'd have to screenshot all setups or write everything down somehow.Set them backup from scratch.
There is the option to not pay annually on the purchase page. Although, all the work that the author (one man operation) does to this software, the auto renewal annually is worth every nickel. You blow $30 on much less a year.I came here to see if I could not have the extended be a 'subscription' where it charges me again in a year... what I found was I should not upgrade if I want it working and don't have time to mess with it... I will just buy a new install and install on a fresh windows install... if you are going to charge annually, the software should not hose itself when you uninstall the previous version..
you are misguided. The software does not "hose itself" when uninstalling 4...there is a bug. If you believe its intentional then you should really look at another vms. There are plenty. You are NOT required to have an annual subscription, you can either purchase a one time upgrade for 35 as clearly explained on the blue iris website or buy the annual subscription and then cancel. Dont be lazy - go to the blue iris website - its right there in black and white, and also mentioned repeatedly in this thread and others discussing upgrades.I came here to see if I could not have the extended be a 'subscription' where it charges me again in a year... what I found was I should not upgrade if I want it working and don't have time to mess with it...

I did not say they intentionally did it... I said the software hoses itself when uninstalling 4, which does not mean the software authors did it intentionally... but it does hose the BI5 installation, does it not???

I am questioning the existence of the $35 offer, can you share a screenshot or a link? I was unable to find it before posting, I was not lazy, and I am still unable to find it...you are misguided.

Yes, we are all lying to you. Keep questioning the existence of this magical option or scroll to the bottom of the blue iris website your choice.I am questioning the existence of the $35 offer, can you share a screenshot or a link?
