There are interesting license restrictions included in that upgrade to
i1Profiler. Not just a more limiting license on the new software you get
but also a stricter limitation on the old software if you agree to the
new license conditions. With the new software not covering (at) all the
features that are in the old software, users will still use the old
software next to the new profile creator.

Colorsync list and LL colour management forum are hot right now.
