westcliffeco Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 I just went to the store to purchase SMP4 and RWC. However, when I went to check out, the site demands that I create an account. How do I check out as a guest and not leave any stored information? Thanks in advance for any help.

For what it's worth, PMDG wont give you forum support without your real name in your forum signature. I suspect this is so their tech support people can run quick checks to see if people requesting help are actually legit customers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westcliffeco Posted December 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 Wait a minute. Are you implying that I am or have attempted piracy??? What would be your basis for that? If I am checking out as a guest using PayPal, I am obviously NOT committing piracy! Sorry, Ben Your insult is WAY off base here and uncalled for.

" Interpret that any way you want. I'm STATING that we require a complete set of profile information for purchase verification and product life cycle. How can you possibly be a pirate when you haven't purchased anything and made a simple enquiry as to why you cannot purchase while keeping your PII to yourself. Why do I bother even trying to share info? So I can get kicked in the teeth? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westcliffeco Posted December 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 (edited) Wow, Ben. Pretty paranoid and immature response. You are exactly correct. How could you possibly imply piracy? But, that is just what you did in that quoted statement. You implied that by requesting information on how to check out without creating an account was suspect. It was a simple, straightforward question. Lots of sites allow for guest checkouts. The fact that your site doesn't is your choice. But, your implication that anyone who wants to check out as a guest must have some nefarious goal is, as I said, pretty paranoid. Enough said.

I'm paranoid because you're the one that thinks you've been accused of something? I'm making a simple statement of facts. Nothing more. You're the one that wants to read between the lines "interpreting things". This business is hard. I thought I'd offer you some insight into why we don't allow guests. I'm sorry that my offer of information offended you. Now, go to the bank and see if they'll let you open a guest account. I'm sure they'll ask you for 150 points of verifiable cross referenced ID to fight exactly the same problems we have. Go away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnMAXX Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 No not enough said, procedures are in place to combat piracy..... Nobody implied anything you are being very sensitive about the reasoning ...... The only one making any assumptions is you by assuming Ben was implying your intent....
