Hi LaserGuy,
I recommend reaching out directly to our sales team, explaining your situation and seeing what they can do for you. Either at 1-800-PANGOLIN or reach out to justin [at] pangolin dot com directly, and tell him I referred you.
We're doing what we can to help our clients start with the right foot forward however we can, and I hear they are making some special deals/offers that I am not at liberty to post publicly.
As always, we will continue to support the device moving forward, and your QM2000 card can as always be used in a setup as the "MASTER" license device, with other newer devices working as slaves.
However, the newer devices will NOT work with LD2000 - a QM2000 card will always be needed for that software platform.
We apologize for any inconvenience/frustration this may cause, and are doing what we can to support our clients, many of whom have been slowly transitioning over the last few years! Availability of new parts has become a problem over the last few years, and we've finally depleted most of what we were able to acquire. Even still, you'd be hard pressed to find other PC components in continuous production for twenty years! It has had a good long run for sure.
Sincerely,
Ryan Smith
