Also I used AT in my early years of platesolving and I haven't kept in touch with it, so don't know if it has evolved to be different from what it was. However, as time progressed in my context ...

buying the pro version

Hi, am a new user and wanted to purchase the pro version. I went through process with my card, but got a message about card authentication failure and to try another payment method. The only other method I could see was Paypal and I don't use that. Anything I can do?

thanks
Paul
