Phasing out support for Espionage 2 + Last chance to upgrade!

It has been almost five years since we announced Espionage to the world. Since then, we’ve gone through three major versions. I would like to sincerely thank all of our customers, and everyone who has supported our work in any way, whether it was by purchasing a license to Espionage, writing a review, or just taking the time to send us an email or a tweet. Thank you.

Espionage 2 was a remarkable application, but its time has passed. It taught us many lessons. We took those lessons and used them to create Espionage 3, a product that not only provides significant security improvements, but a more intuitive user experience. We will continue to listen to our customers, to read your emails, your forum posts, your reviews, your tweets, and use that to make Espionage even better.

Espionage 3 is our focus now. Therefore, we are redirecting traffic to Espionage 2’s homepage to Espionage 3.

December 31st, 2013, will be the last day we provide support for Espionage 2.

The community support forums for Espionage 2 will remain online. Zsolt, Ernesto, or myself may choose to respond to threads in that forum, but we will do that on our own time, and at our discretion.

One more chance to upgrade at a discount

We know that some of our users are still using Espionage 2. We want to make it easy for you to upgrade to Espionage 3 so that you have the security improvements and bugfixes found in Espionage 3.

When we announced Espionage 3, we released it on the Mac App Store, which made it difficult for us to offer discounted upgrades. To get around this, we lowered the price of Espionage 3 to $9.99 for one week, and sent an email to all Espionage users, letting them know that this was their opportunity to upgrade at a discount.

Many users upgraded at that point in time, but some did not. To those that missed out, we’re offering you one more opportunity to upgrade at a discount. We also want to be fair to everyone who decided to purchase Espionage 3 at full price, and so the discount will not be the same as it was the first time.

If you’re a current Espionage 2 user and would like to upgrade to Espionage 3, send us an email (see below) and we’ll send you a code that’s good for 15% off Espionage 3. Update: This offer expired December 31st, 2013. You can still follow the instructions below to receive 10% off Espionage.

To qualify, send an email to:

Your email MUST:

  1. Contain the name and email of your Espionage 2 license
  2. Contain the name and email you’d like for your Espionage 3 license
  3. Do one of the following before December 31st, 2013:
    • Be sent from the same email address that your Espionage 2 license is registered with. (preferred!)
    • Or, include your PayPal receipt for Espionage 2 to the email.
    • Or, have your Espionage 2 license attached to the email. (Not recommended. Will likely delay your license.)

Remember that Espionage 3 needs at least Mac OS X 10.7 to run!

Thank you for helping us make Espionage the best encryption software for the Mac! 🙂
