Old PerfomanceTests usage

[Mixeur]

Hello,

I'm collecting cpus & graphic cards, and I'm doing benchmarks of them. Therefore, I started to use older version of PerformanceTest for older parts, but 3.0 -> 7.0 are limited to 30 days use, unlike 2.1, or later than 8.0...
Those cannot be bought anymore. How can I do to continue to use them ?
Futuremark, for example, has given serial number for their old unsupported benchmarks (3DMark 99 -> 3DMark 11). Is it something possible for Passmark ?

Thanks.

Our policy has been that if you buy the current software, we can supply a key for an older release as well, if requested via Email.
For the really really old software (from 15+ years ago) there might be a problem however. The software to create the keys (from Win95 era) might not work on modern systems. No one is asking for the old software, so there hasn't been any need to worry about it.

Looks fair. Would it true for all older release ?

With the exception of possible issue above it should be OK.
