When it comes to external licenses, you can try to ask for a refund. @smtalk mentioned about this option along with other, non related data, in other forum. This is not exactly what we want, but that would take at least some bitterness away. If they would really refund. Positive move. At least...

I tried that too and considering I received feedback from DA (bunch of my posts were removed), I did it successfully. This thread now is nothing more than a wailing wall, it's so miserable to see guys begging for what they paid for. It may be just another fetish for DA, as I'm 99% sure you...

In comparison to what DA did, that is a genius idea. I don't have any experience with cPanel or Plesk lifetime licenses. With the very few cases of such type of software, which I actually dealt with, there wasn't any unpredictable moves so far. Of course I'd prefer DA act publicly and...

I was talking about DA. As was said - it is as good as free software it supports. @Richard G, let me clarify - do we need to create a business plan for DA to not take away our lifetime licenses? Don't you feel we are crossing the line from blackmail to idiocy here?

That would be a damn good deal. Especially when you need OE tires. But there's a difference - tires cost to produce. I think we all understand, that this is not about honesty, us or MariaDB.

Looks like this discussion goes down the drain. Honest, dishonest, WTF.. Perhaps they had vows of Chastity in their TOS as a requirement to buy licenses, so we're already screwed. They wanted to spread their software as wide as possible, make it affordable as possible and now telling how bad we...

Wouldn't it be great idea to proceed with fixing updates for all the external licenses right now?

What is "this change" and why should it affect "some other people"? Are there so few people with external licenses so they can be counted towards collateral damage even if some mass punishment is taking place at the moment?

But wasn't the main question why basic lifetime product was silently deprived of basic upgrades?

No. What is development cost difference between selling one license and a million licenses? I don't need a license, I need a product. If permission, called a license, is required to use this product, so be it. I have permission to use DirectAdmin control panel with unlimited domains for the...

Generative transformed interpretation of my brain how DA would actually respond with straight truth to you @wila

There's no secret that those lifetime licenses brought us some happiness, security for the future, and we treated them as one of the best investments we made. I imagine those with tens or hundreds might get really depressed. And if during these hard times such person would commit suicide...

@sekorulez you described exactly what all of us here think about the change. There isn't any possible explanation at all. But appealing to their morality won't work, no matter the facts. And asking to give back what belongs to you will only hurt your self respect in the end. It is immensely sad...

Just remembered - I also have lifetime Installatron licenses and not only I received support on this issue , but what, they should stop updating web apps (like WordPress 6 would be a Pro feature) for lifetime licenses following DA logic? Guys, you're brilliant.

Whether it's the owner or no-name admin (is it the same person?), I learned that they don't accept different opinions even if those opinions may seem obvious for a rational person. And it's not even matter of an opinion, as you wrote @Richard G . Just keep the word you've given. Reward your...

I don't think we should read this at all. Because that may change. I also have subscription license - Personal, but it is marked as "legacy". Besides, MariaDB 10.11 is not listed under Pro Pack features, so whom to believe? You know, when you try to implement some BS to get more $, but can't...

Guess they calculated it. Again. Small web hosting companies would never sue them (what's the actual probability for them to unite). Big ones, who still use lifetime DA licenses, will receive upgrades/updates for free or they will get some special deal. That's it.

It is DA lifetime license description from 2017. How "upgrades/updates" option is different from current Standard license?

Wasn't the first time. Evolution skin doesn't look that bad after getting news about MariaDB..

Installatron realeased a fix for that, you only need to update: /usr/local/installatron/repair -f --release --quick
