Hi all,
This is a list of countries by percentage of commercial PixInsight licenses:

This list is generated automatically and will be updated periodically. We want to keep you informed! ;)

357 licenses only :-\
Juan, what about qty of demo licenses?
-
'357 licenses' - I don't see that figure anywhere. Did you change the data content of the .txt file, Juan?
Cheers,
-
I don't see that figure anywhere.
Just use calculator ;)
-
Nope - all I get frm Juan's link is a column of 'percentages' - which, presumably, add up to 100%. But I don't see a 'total' to work from.
Not that I am concerned in any way - I was just curious, and couldn't see what I was 'doing wrong' !!
Anyway - back to 'upsampling' my calibrated data, to see if 'DrizzleIntegration' makes a difference .....
Cheers,

If 0.28% corresponds to 1 licence, the total number of licences is 1/0.0028.

If 0.28% corresponds to 1 licence...
... which is just a working hypothesis :cheesy:
-
The real question is the growth rate. Momentum, etc

This would be a very nice graph indeed!

At least it can't be 1.5 licenses :D

Hola:
En España parece que estamos 100, al igual que en USA.
Pero lo más curioso es uno en QA (¿Qatar?), otro en KZ (¿Kazajistan?).
Lo que me llama la atención es la poca introducción en Sudamerica, solo 1 en Argentina donde hay bastante afición me resulta extraño. Allí he comprobado que esta extendido el uso del Pixi LE, pero veo que no se han animado a dar el paso adelante. Yo en uno de los foros mas conocidos les estoy mostrando poco a poco mis mejores fotos, dejando bien claro que están procesadas con la versión comercial de PixInsight.
Saludos.

Hi
Well 21.178 users in the Uk ( according to the current hypothesis) Looks like we have some more uk bashing to do Nial
Harry
And no I own a full licence not the 0.178 version
-
;D Here in Scotland we must have a large percentage of the UK total,I think we need to invade England again and tell them all about it. :P
-
I shouldn't bother mate no one down here talks English and you only get your self depressed ;D
Harry
Besides I did manage to convert 2 people from the dark side ( Photoshop ) in 1 weekend 8) and they are now full possession of the Force ;D

Si, no puede ser solo 1 argentino... así como tampoco 1 chileno... sé que hay por lo menos 2 :P
El problema aquí es que somos muy pocos los aficionados, principalmente por lo caro que es (no PI, todo el hobby). Así que no es de extrañar que PI se venda poco, pese al uso que ha tenido la versión LE. Además, en estas latitudes no es muy acostumbrado el comprar software...

Hola Carlos:
Lo de Chile cuadra: 0,56%=2. Tu y el otro ;)
Lo de la costumbre de no comprar software no solo ocurre por esas latitudes australes.......
Hace poco cuando me publicaron Andromeda como imagen del mes en la revista Astronomía de España y en mi intercambio de notas con la revista yo hacía hincapié en lo de "íntegramente procesada con PixInsight comercial", una vez calibrada y apilada con DSS, y les comentaba los problemas que podrían tener con algunas imágenes declaradas como procesadas con Photoshop, si alguna vez Adobe empezara a investigar con que licencia se han procesado esas imágenes.
Una gran parte de culpa de la poca venta de licencias de vuestro programa lo tiene la facilidad con que se piratea Photoshop. Un fotógrafo profesional, que conozco, me comentaba que Adobe se conformaba con que tengan solo licencia aquellos fotógrafos con comercio abierto. Estos son mucho mas fáciles de controlar y suficientes, al precio que tiene esa licencia, para hacer un buen negocio.
Por otro lado yo creo que hay que ir mostrando a los usuarios de Pixi LE las grandes ventajas que tiene la versión comercial sobre ella. Por ejemplo la facilidad con que se pueden hacer mosaicos con las últimas innovaciones es algo que puede tentar bastante a un aficionado a la Astrofotografia de cualquier continente.
Saludos.

Chile es CL, no CH (China) :)

Actually China is CN. CH is Switzerland.

Well I know there is another AUSTRALIAN who has just recently purchased Pixinsight – he was impressed enough with my tomfoolery to take the plunge - so what are the figures now?
-
OK - i wish to point out here that my mate (Alan Meehan) bought and paid for Pixinsight 4 days ago, he received the acknowledgement email for payment but has yet to receive the username and logon licence details. Anyone know what has happened with that process. Not good for advertising the product as he is now unsure as to what is happening?
-
Just give Juan a chance to get back from his holidays :D
Remember, Plaides SA is NOT some global corporation - it is ONE man, doing ALL of the jobs of that corporation ::)
I am sure that Juan will be looking at ways of avoiding these 'hold-ups' - but the decision will not be easy, and the system may yet have to remain 'as is'.
I know it isn't 'easy' for you mate Alan - but, hopefully, this slight delay will be worthwhile in the long run.
Cheers,

Hi h0ughy,
We have sent five duplicates of Alan's license instructions email; three from our @pixinsight.com corporate email accounts and two from an emergency Gmail account. What happens is that Alan's email is @yahoo.com.au, and all of our messages are systematically rejected. This has been happening for some time, but the different thing is that now Yahoo is also rejecting our Gmail messages. Oh well...
If you could ask Alan to please provide us with a different (not Yahoo) email address, you would save me the task of sending him his license instructions via ordinary mail.
We definitely have a serious problem with Yahoo. I'm going to include a note on the purchase page; there is already one on the trial license request page.
Thanks, and I really apologize for the inconvenience.
