For a couple of years, what they did was disable the last two database
downloads if the renewal had not occurred. You had to call them to find out
why you could not download, then they would enable the one download without
comment. This year, just got the renewal notices.

I dispise being "reminded" to renew six months in advance. Worse, is the

True, but in the case of Jepp, it's the old "make it look like a bill
for something that's already been ordered." that gets me. Complete
with "third notice" and "past due date." Plus the implication that it
will cost me big bucks if I don't get my money on time (yeah, I
confirmed with Jepp - the price is exactly the same for renewal as for
a brand new subscription).

Sheesh... about the only thing it's missing is bold red "your credit
rating may suffer."

Also, "We will turn your account over to a collection agency."
