Lexware losts one costumer – lexware buchhalter is the reason
For a long time, I used lexware buchhalter for bookkeeping. It was quite easy to make the job. But I was annoyed about the update politics of lexware: so you have to buy every year a new version. That’s not cheap, so I cannot afford this every year.
In Germany, you have to do your sales tax summary reports (Umsatzsteuervoranmeldung) online since 2005, there is a software called Elster. To use this software out of my bookkeeping software, I have bought the new version of lexware buchhalter last year. In the new version, I can nearly only see a better markup. The handling was as bad as in the old version (the same problems, nothing has changed).
But today, ne new version doesn’t work any longer with Elster: Assistent für ELSTER-Übertragung schmeißt mich ohne Fehlermeldung raus. Lexware doesn’t want to give an update for my version (which is only one year old!).
This is surely the last software of lexware I have bought. I can agree about buying new software every 2 or 3 years. But – if I cannot afford a new version – I want to get updates for my software at least for 2 years. Lexware: you have lost one customer. I hope, this text will open your eyes!

- Title should be: Lexware lost a customer (without the s)
- Aren’t you still annoyed by lexware’s update policy?
- …a new version every year.
- I can hardly see anything else than a better markup
- what should “markup” mean in this context?
- was the handling as bad or is it still?
- does the new version no longer work with Elster just today?
- …doesn’t want to provide an update…
- This is definitely the last piece of software from lexware I’ve ever bought
- I can agree on buying new software…

Thanks, I’m still training my english. That helps a lot!
- One questions: why is there no “s” after lexware? I think it’s 3. person singular.
- Markup meens, it only looks better.
- Yes, the new version doesn’t work with Elster until now.
Really thanks to your help. I won’t correct them in the original text so every person will know, what you mean. But I have recognized your message and I hope, I have learned of it.
- It doesn’t matter if it’s third person because it’s simple past and there is no trailing s
- http://www.dict.cc/?s=markup but you probably mean “makeover”
