Have you tried using the key here http://www.thebuddyforum.com/winterbuddy-forum/128471-winterbuddy-sneak-preview.html
Ah well that's unfortunate. Maybe we can get Bossland to extend that key or get a new one. Please remember that we are under no obligation to give access to pre-release software.
see it like this. if they charge money for it now, there will always be people who complain. thats the nature. if you buy something, you want something. situation right now is, bossland works on a new product, and people use it. for free. bossland probably gets valueable input from people, that his own testing team could not have found. 100 alphatesters see more than 10 in a closed team. so it is a win win situation. pay for this right now, i would probably not. right now it is not far enough to spend money for it. there are 2 other NW bots out already. and they are also good.
