Xeltek SuperPro® Piracy will END soon..!

Xeltek SuperPro® Piracy will END soon..!

This is a friendly reminder to our end-users and distributors that Xeltek is taking serious actions to stop piracy of selling Xeltek programmers.

Due to high popularity of SuperPro® programmers some resellers have engaged in illegal import and distribution of Xeltek SuperPro® programmers. This resulted in inadequate support to users, degraded reputation for Xeltek, and disruption of authorized distribution channels. Here is the list of those companies that Xeltek’s sales & marketing department has come across with their illegal sales & distributorships:

- Batronix from Germany

- Crownhill Associates Ltd from UK

- ACS Elektronik from Poland

- Beside that we don’t have websites such as Xeltek.cz or Xeltek.ru.

The companies that we have listed above and many others have nothing to do with Xeltek. They have been selling our brand by supplying from illegal channels. is the reason why they are able to sell the same programmer for a lower price. They have neither programming experience nor technical support assurance. If you buy from them; you will not be able to get any technical/customer support from Xeltek Inc.

Our new project; SuperPro® Product Registration (SPR), which will be active very soon, will give this piracy an end! From now on, all the updates of SuperPro® software will require to be registered for the first time. Once you register the software you will be able to download the updates without any problems and you will enjoy the genuine programming experience by deserving the value you paid. The end users who prefer to buy through illegal channels will be wasting their money after 15-days/15-trials once the trial software expires. Since majority of the administrative actions will be ran manually, you won’t be able to hack the software. There is only one way to activate your device, the serial numbers which will be submitted by Xeltek administrators, authorized distributors and end users have to match. Unless those three numbers match, activation code won’t be granted to unlock SuperPro® software. In this manner, it is strongly recommended to buy from authorized sellers from now on. Otherwise your programmer will be nothing but a boat anchor!

Xeltek is also willing call those unauthorized sellers to join back to Xeltek Family. Get your license, and be an authorized seller now.

We apologize for the inconvenience that we have created but all our effort is to satisfy our invaluable customers and give back the value they deserve.

SuperPro® 5000 Software Supports German Language

It has been announced today, Xeltek’s recently released product; SuperPro® 5000, is now supporting German language. For our customers’ convenience, it can be downloadable from Xeltek’s website.

It was also said from the Xeltek headquarter: “It was a fun project! And it was a great product of our family. Our flawless communication channel has created this product. For this project, we worked with our distributors, our support team in USA and our engineers in China. And, we are proud to say that more languages are on the way!”.

As Xeltek Family, we would like to send our special thanks to Thomas Hoffmann from Hoffmann Elektronik, Germany. He was tutoring the project even though he was being treated in the hospital, at that time.

SuperPro 5000 and SuperPro 5004GP currently support 32 Gb NAND FLASH memories

Xeltek Inc. is proud to inform their valuable customers with their large size NAND Flash programming support which is growing daily. Since December, 2007; little after Xeltek launched their new programming solution family: SuperPro 5000 and SuperPro 5004GP, Xeltek has started supporting 32 Gb NAND Flash devices with Samsung K9HBG08U1M. As of today, supported NAND Flash devices count by SuperPro 5000/5004GP is way higher than the other programmers in the market.

Programming and verifying speed of SuperPro 5K families for NAND devices are 64 MB per minute which equals to 8Mb per second. It is surprising that, the price for SuperPro 5000/5004GP programmers is approximately %40 cheaper than the other manufacturers’ cheapest programmers that can program 32 Gb NAND; even though the programming speeds are identical. On the contrary, all SuperPro 5K products have been presented in the market since the beginning of this year and supporting 32 Gb NAND Flash, not like we are announcing that we are on development phase.

By having the market based on China; world’s factory, and with the contribution of Xeltek China and Xeltek Korea, Xeltek Inc. is enjoying the advantages of technological advanced facilities. It is also known as Xeltek has always had rapid responses for customer’s algorithm requests and has already had much experience on dealing bad block issues.

Currently, Xeltek Inc. supports more than 400 NAND Flash devices such as Micron MT29F32G08QAAWP, Intel JS29F32G08FANC1 and etc…Beside that, Xeltek is also supporting various NAND devices from various major companies listed as Samsung, Hynix, Toshiba, Micron, Intel, ST, Spansin. And there is no doubt the more will be coming in near future. “As the technology and market allows, we will keep supporting large size NAND devices. We are the biggest follower of this NAND technology.” said Sam Kim, CEO/President Xeltek Inc. “Let’s face the fact that Xeltek is shining from Far East.”

Supported Devices by SuperPro 5000 now exceeds 46,000

Device Count, a Marketing Ploy???

Device count issue has come up more than once; and I am compelled to make a statement.

Nowadays; many devices support multiple package types. So, most programmer manufacturers count different package types as one device. There is an industry consensus on this. All the large manufacturers list devices with the supported package types and count total numbers as supported devices.

However, some programmer manufacturers have raised an issue about the device count. So, let’s give an example. An IC device comes with DIP and BGA type packages. Programmer manufacturer A supports both package types and B supports only a DIP type. If a customer needs a support for BGA type he will have to go to company A and not company B. The company B lost a sale because they didn’t support the BGA type. So, is it important to put in engineering and manufacturing resources to develop and manufacture different package types? It definitely is. It often makes a difference between making a sale or not.

So, why some companies are complaining about high device count of other companies? Because they don’t have enough financial and manpower resources to develop and manufacture many different adapters, but don’t want to admit it. Manufacturing and stocking many socket adapters cause significant strain on financial and engineering resources and only some larger programmer companies can undertake them.

- So, is showing high device count a marketing ploy?
No, it shows strength of the company.

- Then, is it a sour grape by lesser companies who cannot undertake such a task?
It sure is.

Illegal distrubution of SuperPro® programmers

Illegal Distrubution of Xeltek SuperPro® Programmers

Due to high popularity of Superpro® programmers some resellers have engaged in illegal import and distribution of Xeltek Superpro® programmers. This resulted in inadequate support to users, degraded reputation for Xeltek, and disruption of authorized distribution channels. Xeltek is in the process of establishing a registration process, which will require all authorized distributors and end-users to register in order to complete installation of Superpro® Software (Chinese language version excepted). Here is the summary of operation.

• Serial number of a unit must match from 3 sources; Manufacturer (Xeltek), Authorized distributor, and Purchaser(user)
• Machine and time-zone dependant Authorization code will be issued to complete registration and installation of the purchased unit.
• Both CD and web down-loaded programs will be subjected to registration.
• All units sold in 2008 will be subjected to registration. It will be the responsibility of authorized distributors and purchasers to register.

The resultant effect would be as follows:

• Illegally sold/purchased units will fail to install rendering the purchased unit inoperable.
• In case of a dispute, it is the responsibility of the distributor and purchaser to submit proof of legal sales or purchase.
• Xeltek and its affiliates reserve a right to refuse service to all purchases, which cannot be substantiated as being a legal purchase.
• Distributors must purchase through Xeltek USA, Xeltek China, or Xeltek Korea direct. Any purchase made through other channel is illegal.
• End-users must make purchase through an authorized distributor in their country. In case of a dispute, Xeltek USA retains sole right for determination.
• A purchase made from China, Hong Kong, and neighboring countries for use in other country is illegal.
