Dear ReplaceMagic Users,
For over 10 years, we have been processing payments through Digital River (previously known as ShareIt). Unfortunately, in July, they informed software vendors (thousands of us) that they would be changing their payment model from NET15 to NET60, meaning payments due for July would only be transferred at the beginning of October.
After reviewing discussions on several forums and blogs:
It became clear that many other Digital River customers, like us, have not received payments since July, placing all of us in a challenging situation.
As a precautionary measure to safeguard both your investment and our revenue (as mentioned in the Docklight News article), we have issued refunds for all orders placed since July 1, 2024. We understand this may come as a surprise when you review your bank or credit card statements, but please be assured that this action was taken on behalf of ReplaceMagic. In addition, we have already sent an email to the responsible individuals or teams for these purchases, explaining the situation.
Here is what you can expect:
-
You will soon receive an email notifying you of the refund (probably already on 23rd or 24th of October).
-
Shortly after, the funds will be credited back to your account (3-7 days later).
-
Your licenses will remain valid for all versions until refund date, regardless of any communications you may receive from Digital River (likely from the MyCommerce domain), which may state something like:
"All product rights and licenses transferred to you under the terms and conditions of the contract expire upon final cancellation of your order. You are required to immediately cease using the product and to destroy all copies of the product in your possession (electronic data must be permanently deleted)."
After receiving confirmation of your refund, we will contact you again with details on how to make a new purchase. By doing so, you will be helping us immensely, as we rely heavily on revenue from license sales to continue our operations and that will not have any financial impact on you.
As a token of our appreciation, we will not only issue licenses from the new purchase date but will also extend an additional 12 months of maintenance (free upgrades and product support) at no extra cost.
We greatly appreciate your support during this time.
Thank you,
Oliver
The ReplaceMagic Team

- Further processing improvements
New in version 2024.3:

- Per default, ReplaceMagic will set refresh of Pivot data after first time opening document after replacements. Added feature to remove auto-refresh if required
- Added functionality to export skipped SharePoint documents for later export and re-processing
For details check section Skipped Documents tab - Export List
- Adjusted labels for re-processing of skipped documents during replacement process (button is enabled only if there are skipped files after replacement run against documents stored on SharePoint)
By clicking on "Reload skipped files" ReplaceMagic will prepare them for replacement re-run so after click here just go to Search & Replace and re-run replacements.
- Removed limit of maximum 100 threads for parallel processing (new limit: 9999)
- Added additional column (scanning result) to show "last editor" email in case of SharePoint documents
- Added additional column (scanning result) to show if document is protected by Azure (Microsoft Information Protection / Information Rights Management)
- Removed option to explicitly set via Configuration if Author/Editor name should be included in scanning result. Per default, this will be shown.
- IMPORTANT - if you have scanning result that you exported for later import with any previous version of ReplaceMagic, import will not work due to additional fields. To add missing fields just open your main file for import and add ; after Owner column and additional one at the end of each line.
- Export of scanning on SharePoint skipped documents added also to command line processing if Save result files option is selected
- Added expert option to check if documents are protected by legacy IRM protection
Use this option only if you are aware that legacy IRM protection is used and you can provide search string. This will have impact on scanning performance and if wrong strings are provided might lead that documents are skipped from further processing.
- Fixed bug that Update Text checkbox setting is not saved during Search & Replace configuration saving.

Until this version this was possible only when legacy SharePoint mode was used. From this version this will work also when legacy mode is not selected. Previously, ReplaceMagic would report:
"File with % in name cannot be saved; if possible switch to SharePoint Legacy mode"
- Fixed bug in parameter removal functionality (parameter was removed but link was not updated)
- Further optimizations in processing Excel files (LinkSources...)
