    Takes your money, but no registration code - website no longer working

    Updated: Feb 16 2026
    Summary

    Used to be a legitimate program, but is now just a rip-off that will grab your money and keep it, while giving you nothing in return.

    Positive

    Nothing. I had an earlier version I had purchased in 2008 that did work, but now this company appears to no longer exist.

    Negative

    This software cannot be used. BrightSpring Market LLC (doing business as "FastSpring", aka "FSPRG")- the company name that accepts your payment for this upgrade, will happily take your money and send you a message stating that you will get a registration code in as little as an hour ... But you will not. And you will not get your money back. Readerware appears to be out of business, as their website can no longer be found. Attempting to contact Brightspring or Readerware will get you no where.

    Company Gone?

    Date: Mar 09 2026
    Summary

    It was great but is now abandonware. I wish someone would pick it up and take over or at least explain what happened.

    Positive

    I loved this software. Was my most used application. It seems the company has disappeared. I've read rumors the author died.

    Negative

    It's gone. There no longer seems to be any entity that is supporting the software.

    Has Readerware corporation gone out of business?

    Date: Feb 05 2026
    Summary

    It just abut makes me sick to think that the company may have quietly gone out of business. I can still use the software, but I have to hand-type the information on each title.

    Positive

    I have been using Readerware for 12+ years, currently running Release 4.1. It does what I need to track my library items, at least until this past Sunday.

    Negative

    On Sunday Feb 1 I could not use the auto-catalog feature; the software reported it could not get to wherever it goes to look up the book data when I enter the ISBN. When I tried to go to the Readerware website, I got a "we can't find that" message. Anyplace I've spotted that purports to offer RW downloads has a Release number lower than what I'm currently running.

    Readerware Customer Support Lacking

    Date: Dec 12 2025
    Summary

    No customer support despite the website claiming that they will provide support. I paid for the upgrade for the version 4 bundle but did not receive the registration codes yet. It has been over a week so far.

    Positive

    Over all it is a good product. I started with the version 3 bundle and later tried version 4. But I am unable to get any response from customer support.

    Negative

    I am unable to get the registration codes after paying for the upgrade for the version 4 bundle. I sent two emails but got no response from the company. I am very frustrated and disappointed with Readerware's lack of support. I am unable to use the software without the registration codes.
