Recently became a Mac user.

Just to have this clear, I will need to have separate memberships to KVS and Crossover in order to have it run on OS X?

CrossOver Mac does have a small one-time cost.

There are also free alternatives available -- please consult the Mac section of the KVS Tool User Guide for more info:

KVS Tool website not available??
 

Can't access the KVS Tool website, nor the KVS Tool Mobile Companion. Anyone know what's up?

Working again. Oh well.

One of our hosting providers was experiencing a brief server outage, which was affecting some of the web-based functionality. All systems are now running normally.

I'm getting the following error every time I use the AC method. Was working fine last night.

Datasource Error [I-3]:
"Login"

The [Awards/AC-StarAlliance] Engine had just been updated.

Please download KVS Tool V7.8.8 and try again.

Is there anyway to use the KVS tool on a mac without paying the subscription charges for Crossover?

Yes, there is -- please consult the Mac section of the KVS Tool User Guide for details:

Also, CrossOver Mac does not require a subscription and can be done as a 1-time purchase using the "CrossOver Mac - 1 Month" option.

So you're now actually admitting that you are selling something vs. taking 'd:rolleyes:nations'? I guess that's a slight improvement...

Found the 1 month option. But if I just buy the 1 month licence what about future updates? So in reality I have to pay £38 a year or am I missing something?

CrossOver Mac comes with a perpetual license for the purchased version.
We, generally, do not recommend upgrading CrossOver as it may introduce compatibility issues.

Works perfectly and free !!!!

Temporary Registration Code
 

This is probably a nit but seems like something that should be easily solved. When I signed up for the KVS tool I got a message that said:
Your request has been successfully submitted:
Your Temporary Registration Code has been sent to you via e-mail at the end of the online Contribution process, so you can start using the KVS Tool right away.

At the end of the payment process I got two emails, the first thanking me for my order and indicating additional information would follow in a separate email. The second again thanked me and said I should proceed to the Registration Wizard.

Neither of these emails contains the Temporary Registration Code so I really cannot start using the tool right away. Now I can wait 24 hours for the permanent code but why is there a big bold statement saying I will get a temporary code when I don't? Perhaps they used to send this code and don't any more or perhaps they have never sent it but it would seem a minor fix to remove these statements if they are not going to include the temporary code.

Welcome to the KVS Tool!

The Temporary Registration Code was issued automatically -- please check your Spam/Junk folder.

I have to apologize. I assumed when I received the first two mails there was no need to check my spam folder. But I did and the temporary registration was there. Well done!!
