Took the Plunge: Vault 3.0

So I decided to bite the bullet this afternoon and purchase 2 gold support licenses from SourceGear to obtain Vault 3.0. The upgrade went really, really smooth (I still have doubts that its properly working, but it looks and acts like v2.0.6 (close)), surprisingly. I always fret major updates to programs I use daily that could corrupt the integrity of my well being, code. I do have to say, it seems to be a loooot faster, and I loooove the new add files dialog.

The only gripe I had, was when upgrading my 1.x and 2.x licenses to 3.x licenses: it upgraded but didn’t send them to me via email! And because I figured they would, I closed my browser. Upon realizing this, I tried resubmitting my licenses and it told me that they’ve already been upgraded. So, after a support email (using my Gold status!) & a few hours, I had my licenses. SourceGear: take my subtle hint and send those bad boy’s out via email, otherwise you’re going to get a flood of support requests just like mine.

  • Matt,



    Other than being faster (not really a big problem for us with 2.06) and having a nicer add file dialog (not used much over here because most work is done through VS.net), have you come across any other really compelling reasons to upgrade to 3.0? I love vault 2.x, think Eric Sink is the man, and love supporting small businesses, but I'm not really sold on upgrading to 3.0.

  • I think the biggest reason I upgraded is that there probably won't be any more updates to the 2.x tree. That, and I have this bad habit of always wanting the latest and greatest.



    I can't really say why you should upgrade right now, I've actually upgraded but not had to check anything in yet, soooo...until then!
