Problem with data loss is sometimes you only find out when you look for it.  😒

EDIT:  Oops, ships in the @Feitz

From my memory, for the note title containing LAWLalendorf to appear in a Lalendorf search, the term Lalendorf will be standalone in the note body somewhere.  Old EN search worked the same title or body.  Ctrl+F in the body was a different story. 

Features varied a bit but data was solid when I used a mac and pc for a bit in the teens.

@Feitz Try intitle searches to be sure your result sets are accurate.  About the only special character that EN in the day indexed was underscore, everything else became a space.  They may have changed something with the new app, don't know.  If things haven't changed, items two and five should not appear in an intitle search.

@Dave-in-Decatur Sort of an existential question.  Six people and an elephant as not everyone uses the same stuff.  🤷‍♂️

Classy. 

Equally a bad idea to allow fields used by the system to be modified by the user.  🤣   I would hope there were invisible to the user system dates for created and modified in old EN..

Some processing overhead if nothing else.

Great idea, Elizabeth. I will be filing a BBB complaint as well.

May want to try to go in again as other posts imply access returned.  Could have been a coding error causing early shut down of legacy. 🤷‍♂️

I  don’t see any use case for this, because the syncing of content is at the heart of what makes up EN.

But feel free. If you mean EN by „the company“, you are wrong with the assumption that anything cost them time and money. They close the server access on the announced date, and be done.

They will use the move to save money, on storage volume, on system maintenance and on dev hours wasted on keeping the old system connected to the modern database driving the current client.

Not the best nor long term use case, but maybe for a procrastinator to use legacy to port their data, particularly if access is being shutdown before next month re other posts.  

May not be any storage savings until BS eliminates free.  Static Free accounts are still accessible via V10 Web?  I’m fairly sure.

THX again - this is why I love these groups 🙂

You are welcome. 

Found the post I used for the firewall rule.  2017.  Geez.  At one's own risk.

Airplane mode is not a good solution. You take all your apps to the airplane.
Can firewall rules encapsulate only specific apps to airplane mode?

Firewall rules can prevent specific apps from accessing the internet.  Not really airplane mode.  Have to be careful since if you don't have the rule running when you fire up Legacy you will start syncing and may get logged out by the server, post 3/23.

I think Airplane mode would be fine for ad hoc lookups and a place to keep the data with better conversion tools during a transition.  I probably have the Windows Instructions somewhere, it's been a minute since I created the rule.

Is it possible to configure Regedit to keep the old version offline while running both systems in parallel, with the new version online and the old version offline?

Probably not.  BS says they will block legacy starting 3/24 and seem to be doing already, accidental or otherwise.  A way to possibly use EN with legacy for a longer term would be to turn off your internet connection before starting the app.  After x'ing out of closing, NEVER logging out, start your internet connection again.  Not logging out was a standard practice back when to be sure one had access when out of internet coverage.  Be sure you are logged in before you start any of this.

@all: Is any Windows/networking crack here who knows how to cut an application off from internet while Windows itself (and all other apps) keeps being online?

A firewall rule can be created or a simpler way is to switch to airplane mode.  Risk is you forget and open EN legacy then BS logs you out.

IAC, this is a short term legacy transition to whatever solution, my view.  Or a longer term backup source.  Too rickety for much else.  🤷‍♂️

Thanks, but I've now tried reinstalling a couple of times, so yeah, I'm def logged out. 😀 And I have several accounts that I'd need to access, anyway.

Oh well. Thanks anyway.

You are welcome.

Oups - have to correct me a bit because of a thinking fail: I thought of disconnection internet after I've assigned the tags 😞

Cutting of the internet just before working like this might help - I'll try this. Even if I will not like it. During such offline times, I cannot browse the web, receive eMails, ...

Can you focus on the changes and then reconnect to minimize other app disruption?  Would be interesting to know if any impact, plus or minus.

I’ve no sympathy if I’m honest. Any person paying hard earned money for software they know is unsupported and could close at ANY moment either has more money than I do and don’t see that as a worry or needs their spending supervised. 

Not something I would do, or did I suppose. But they were paying for an active service and using active though unsupported software. Culpability for customer and company. Bad bet staying with legacy this long, bad practice setting a 30 day date certain window. 

Okay. Does that mean when someone has been adding and editing off line, performing tasks like you’re doing, they return to chaos?  That would be a PITA.

because every note/tag is tried to be synced immediately which triggers the Receipe to work along with the note remains open too long it it's "RTE room"

Would pausing internet have any impact on this?  Or would RTE have the same view of the data when reconnecting?

Thanks. But I'm definitely logged out, unfortunately. 😢

On your home devices?  There's x'ing out or closing and then there's actually logging out.  Only way to maybe to get in at this point is to have the app not running at home and disconnecting prior to starting it.  Logged out or app up and logged out elsewhere at this point is mostly likely toast.  Me thinks.

People paid money to use EN with Legacy.  Ain't saying it was bright or not, but it was what it was. 

Crooked.  Really?  Just my opinion, not a righteous statement of fact. 

Yeah, nothing to do with the obviousness of Legacy sunsetting, more BS' handling of the date certain.  You know I left a ways back, sans histrionics.

More to do with a company perhaps taking money from a user knowing that the client they use (and appear to only want to use after 3 years) is going away soon.  Could have been handled better by BS in my view, like last August.  Folks would could have been fully informed as to an investment in premium Legacy usage.  That's all, just a voice in the wilderness.  🤷‍♂️

One month? You have had YEARS lol, years! One month! What the…..

I don't know.  If one were to be using Legacy and signed up for another yar of Premium or whatever two months ago and was told a few a days ago that Legacy was kaput that could be a case for a refund.  Sure Legacy was known to be on it's last legs but there was no date certain.  Based upon the banner messages reported, etal, it would seem BS knew who was legacy and could have advised.  If they knew.  Just saying.

Filehippo?

3/23?
