Hi,

Question more for @fln @DirectAdmin Sales if I convert lifetime license on production server - will it have impact on existing configs/programs?
Also if I have currently on server Cloudlinux - will all provided by ProPack features Git/Redis/etc work with it seamless?
Also about payment - mo matter owned/internal license converted - both will cost 15$/mo?
 
The process is seamless and doesn't alter/harm your existing configs. Yes, it is the same cost no matter what license you are converting (datacenter or retail).

The only thing to remember is that you will not be able to downgrade back to a legacy key later, because you will be on the new codebase. But this is true of anyone who has a Personal PLUS, Lite, or Standard license. It has nothing to do with the discounted conversion deal.
 
@DirectAdmin Sales
Also few questions:
1. If this license expires (with half price) it just suspends till I pay for it again? For example client don't need this server, and new client ask for license with ProPack in 2-3 months only, can I just pay for license when I need and price will be same 15$?
2. If client tested and don't need ProPack features - can I replace license on working server with another lifetime that I have in my account, and keep this upgraded license for future VPS orders/clients and pay for it just when need it?
Thanks.
 
You have to maintain billing to keep the special deal. You can't cancel the license and then come back months/years later to claim that same price. When converting the license, this is explained and you have to agree this before you proceed (check boxes before moving forward), so we are not hiding this in any way.

The upgraded license is a regular Standard license so that means it cannot accept downgrade to the legacy codebase. It makes no difference if you use this deal, or purchase a normal Standard license. In both cases, you could not downgrade the license to lifetime.
 
@DirectAdmin Sales I don't want to downgrade license, just ask - can I replace it with another existing lifetime license on server, and move this standard license to another server. Like swap two existing licenses, lifetime and standard, between two servers, without reinstalling anything on servers?
 
Sorry for the misunderstanding! Yes, certainly you can seamlessly apply a different lifetime key to the server (it can now be done by pasting the new key right into the GUI at the license page in the admin panel). There is no downtime, data loss, or reinstalling of anything.

I think you might have misunderstood.

@DirectAdmin Sales if he would swap his normal license to a server with a legacy (lifetime) license, this is possible because this is upgrading.
But it's swapping, which would mean a server with a modern license would then get the legacy (lifetime) license. That would be downgrading right?
I remember a case where @patrickkasie had installed a modern license and wanted to have the server legacy and he also was told this was not possible by swapping the license key if I remember correctly, without re-installing the server.
 
Then the original answer would apply:

The upgraded license is a regular Standard license so that means it cannot accept downgrade to the legacy codebase.

For extra clarity, if you convert your lifetime license under this special price -- and then later try to switch keys to a legacy license key, the server will not accept the license key.

At this moment 50% from monthly costs so 14 or 15 euro, but no pause option, so if you stop paying for it, the offer stops and then next time you pay the full price, and there is no going back to lifetime either.
