Version 3.0.0 of the Light-O-Rama Software Suite has been released. Before saying what's new or how to get the installer, here are a couple important things to note:

Operating systems earlier than Windows XP (such as Windows 98 SE) are no longer supported. Please see the following post for more information:

Your license might not work with version 3. Please see the following post for information such as how to find out whether it will or not, and what to do if it won't:

We suggest checking that page before actually downloading and installing S3.

Thanks for the notice, davidt!

I checked an hour or so ago and it wasn't up but the licence upgrade procedures, OS support list and help files were.

Just some advice to anyone who will need to renew their licence to get S3: bob on the LOR forum says that performing an upgrade to a higher tier or purchasing the addon for the Superstar software also counts as a renewal, so it would make more sense to renew using this method if you plan on adding more controllers or CCR's in the future. More value for money! ;)
