No idea. I've seen him come on ICQ, but ignore any support requests I've sent. I noticed his business domain where he hosted all of his tutorial videos is a parked page now (at least for me it is parked) http://www.kaktustechnologies.com/

Like I said, it would not surprise me to see his script site disappear either given the lack of updates and lack of support. Check his support forum... it's just crickets in there now.

The real concern from my view is that the script is Zend encoded and that it "appears" to call home. I can't be 100% if this would cause any negative impact on functionality if his main site disappears, but you can't get a response one way or the other.

My guess is there's likely a market for a quality replacement script that can read and import the CWS's various scripts databases. And one that charges a subscription fee of some sort to encourage, and fund, ongoing development and support.
