Just curious, why no Sleepyhead on Equipment Profile menu?

Post by surf_rower » Mon Dec 09, 2013 10:20 am

Just curious, why no Sleepyhead on the User Equipment Profile menu under Software? Many experienced users here seem to use Sleepyhead, and I just downloaded it (against my Mac's wishes). Is it new, or unauthorized, whatever that might mean? Thanks.

All the equipment choices that you see in the Equipment Profile menu....are tied to products that cpap.com either has sold in the past or is currently offered for sale.
If cpap.com never sold it...the choice isn't there.
Since SleepyHead has always been a free product...cpap.com has never sold it.
Your Mac disapproved because it current verify the author and/or the software...no big deal...Windows pops up with similar question "are you sure???"
It's the standard security warning when the software is not something that is out there for Windows or Mac to know that it is an okay software to use.
It's safe...no bad bugs in it.
