John at Prodata claims to sell licenses.  You could try there.  I am sure you can get a copy somewhere, but be aware it has a bunch of limitations.

We used to, but not for the past 3-4 years at least, as is clearly stated on our website (since Steve formally ended development and made the software free). We don't have any hotline to Steve and can't help I'm afraid.

The link to ver. 1.2.5 is still alive on the Softwx downloads page.

Strange. Everything was working fine yesterday including the download. Tested it rather than blind posted the link. Now when I click on the download I get a timeout error. All I have is version 1.1.4 but I am running version 1.2.5. I will keep looking for the zip file and can Dropbox you if interested.

It pulled down fine

Softwx link seems to be back up.

Well that's weird.  I just went to the Softwx site and downloaded both VVP and Start Watch.  Then went back after two minutes and can't get there.

The download page is working again. I went to the Software Informer site and dowloaded it from there too. Files are same size but.....worries me to download from a non-support site. You never know if the files have been screwed with. I have the real deal from Softwx now, if you cant connect to them I will Dropbox it to you. Let me know.

If it might help I have copies of every version released from 1.1.1 all the way up to and including 1.2.5.  If anyone needs them I can send them on.

Now it's back up. What did davis change that it no longer works? I've never updated my VP2 console.
