Talk:Bandicam perpetual license invalidation

Regarding the relevance

Right- so I tried to represent the situation according to information I could garner on Bandicam's website and the links provided by the OP. That said, I've never used or paid for Bandicam, and I could be misunderstanding some details. Since I'm not super informed on it (and have other projects to focus on atm), I'll leave this here to help someone more familiar with the software to investigate.

However, I did notice one thing on Bandicam's website about their licenses that... rubs me the wrong way. Basically, if you register the software to another PC when you only have a 1-PC license (seemingly even by accident), they can just revoke your license without a refund. Maybe I'm still a bit leery after the BwE saga, but... hmm.

alternatives

should we consider adding alternatives to this page or perhaps site wide? people that use Bandicam might stumble onto this page and read abt how Bandicam's screwing them but not know of any good alternatives. SinexTitan (talk) 10:17, 16 June 2025 (UTC)

Sorry for taking a while to get back to you. I'm not 100% sure myself, but I've noticed some pages tend to mention ways to mitigate problems, or even have a section at the very bottom dedicated to that purpose. Most of them are also incident pages. I think it might be appropriate to include some alternatives here. The original creator said they were switching to OBS, but I know there are other options (i.e., I think FRAPS still exists- though, I don't know how consumer-friendly they are.)

For a couple of examples of what I'm referring to: Brother ink lockout & quality sabotage; Dyson V10/V11 trigger design (mentions that there are tutorials for a fix and references one). - V (Vindicator4021) (talk) 23:28, 29 June 2025 (UTC)

right after adding this discussion I noticed what you're saying. I thought it might be a legit thing I just didn't know abt. perhaps we're to speak to Louis/mods abt making this a sitewide thing? I believe just bearing the bad news and not providing a solution's pretty shitty. We can do it just like it's already been done on the BWE page. SinexTitan (talk) 16:42, 3 July 2025 (UTC)
