- I canceled future renewals to the S&M with the possibility of a future switch to PT4
- S&M sub expired, and I get bumped to dinky free trial version (which is BS because the way it is described is that you miss out on updates that come out, not that you get what you already paid for nerfed)
- Middle of my games today the HUD just doesn't work at all, and a restart didn't help (in reference to above discussion on updates, neither HM3 nor my poker software had updates between when the HUD was and then wasn't working
.....
"not edit" (just something I noticed right before posting): a lower limit game started up and the HUD works. So it seems, despite paying for all stakes upgrade, I have been downgraded to small stakes only. This truly is just wrong.
If your Support & Maintenance (S/M) plan expired you need the previous stable version which you should be able to download from the HM3 - Help - My Licenses... menu's 'Reinstall Old Version' link.
If you have an old version and expired S/M and are having HUD issues there is nothing we can do to provide support, unfortunately, unless you are using the latest version of HM3 with an active S/M.
If you want to update HM3 to version 3.1.30.0 and have access to new updates for the next year you will need to renew your S/M. You can read more about
the S/M plans here.
If you are having HUD issues with version 3.1.30.0:
Which specific site/games are you having HUD problems at? Can you see the recent/current hands for the player in the Reports or Live Play view when playing?
Please see our
HUD Troubleshooting FAQ and if you continue to have problems please send the requested screenshots, logs, and hand history files in a new support ticket as instructed at the end of the FAQ.

If it is likely best that I just give up and move to my new laptop with PT4, that might just have to be what it is, but I don't want basically a repeat where PT5 comes out just after I purchase and I suddenly have an obsolete product again. I know this is HM3 support and not PT4, but as it's all under the same umbrella now anyway, I was hoping to get some advice/assistance.
....
New PT4 purchases are now like HM3 with an annual Support & Maintenance (S/M) plan. PT5 will also have an annual S/M plan when it is eventually released AFAIK.
