You lied saying there is no improvement between BIV4 and BIV5 and saying that one has to pay an annual subscription. Both of which are flat out lies and I cited examples.... Wait for others to chime in unless they feel you are simply a troll LOL.
MANY people here use substreams and DeepStack - do a search on this forum and other forums and see for yourself how many people are using it. In fact we have people here creating custom models for the use of Deepstack and sharing it here. Look at all the applications out on Github as another example. People are creating and improving it all the time.
You said you bought 2 licenses of BI5 - my apologies if you bought them and don't use them and instead use BI4. Most would assume if you bought it you are using it... I didn't question why you bought 2 licenses and a one year subscription update at the same time. Maybe user error on your part. But if you overbought two many licenses, then take that up with where you bought it. This site is not part of BI.
I really don't see where an apology is necessary....you flat out lied saying there was no improvement from BI4 to VI5 and about the subscription...
Here is the list from BI website of all the updates....that looks like a lot more to me than no improvements....
