SAPIEN Licensing Policies
Let’s face it, End User Licensing Agreements (EULAs) are a pain in the butt. Long drawn-out legalese that nobody reads (OK, some people read them but they are usually lawyers and they like that kind of stuff.) But for the rest of us, when that EULA dialog pops up in the installer, we pretty much […]
Simpler eBook Downloads
SAPIEN Technologies has streamlined it’s ebook download scheme for an easier user experience. Customers that purchase SAPIEN Press ebooks on ScriptingOutpost.com only need to register their license keys on My.SAPIEN.com to instantly download their ebooks. Once registered, a download link appears next to the ebook title. The customer just clicks that link to download their […]
Checking for updates, what does it do?
When we receive support calls, emails or forum posts, one question we always ask is what specific version and service build a user has installed.

How safe are my scripts in PrimalScript/PrimalForms packages?
This is a question that has come up a lot lately. Our Script Packager used in PrimalScript 2009 and PrimalForms 2009 stores the scripts and additional data files encrypted and in some cases, compressed inside the executable.Some formats create temporary files and use the original Windows tool to run a script; others execute directly from […]
PowerShell 2.0 TFM going to press
We have received the final proof copy of PowerShell 2.0: TFM. There is only one minor change that needs to be made and then we will go to press on it. That should happen this week and we hope to have copies ready to ship next week. The book is over 700 pages of great […]
A delay and an apology
We know that you have all been waiting with bated breath for PowerShell v.2 TFM from SAPIEN Press. We were hoping to have it shipping by the end of December. Unfortunately, some unforeseen production SNAFUs have delayed our release schedule. It is our sincerest hope to have the production finished within the next couple of […]
