I saw a nearly new still in the box mint condition Spyder 2 Pro for sale on ebay for £20 and after reading a few reviews thought I would buy it but now after I go to download the software (I don't have a CD Drive) I get this message from Datacolor
Spyder2PRO Software

Please note, that Spyder2PRO is an older product which discontinued a few years ago and is no longer supported.
Furthermore, the 2nd generation Spyder sensor included has been constructed before 2004! years ago and is therefore no longer compatible with latest display technologies,
such as LED-Backlight, Wide-Gammut, screens with a glossy surface and other newer display technologies (OLED, GB-R-LED...)
A Spyder5 product will solve all your compatibility issues.
However, here you will find the Sypder2PRO software
Is this just marketing to get me to buy a new one or is this correct and its no good. I have an Omen Laptop with an IPS screen. I would of course buy a new one if needed but just want to check
