LIFETIME MEANS UNTIL I’M DEAD!!!!!!!!!

[altayevrim]

I don't know if you ever watched Suits (It's now on Netflix) but one episode, the Partners who own the Law Firm get served by a delivery guy in a fast food box.

Finished it three times You mean the one that Luis takes while swearing to the delivery guy I recently watched the LA version and it's also good. I liked it.

And by your own statement I've proven you can not read decently.
I talked about INTERNAL lifetime, not just lifetime.
I rest my case.

You can buy a pie from me if you want, or a lifetime sun umbrella which I offered?


Sorry, as you could read from my answer, my pie's are only on monthly and weekly subscribtions, we don't do lifetime.
I will gladly see your order.


Hmmz... I see I should have used smaller print.
Let me think about that a little while to see if I can legally counter this some way....

.... thinking in process.....

.... thinking in process.....

Ah yes... it was not misleading, I clearly stated smaller pies have risk of collapsing, so that is warning up front. Legal and not misleading.

Legal and not misleading? I’ll let the jury decide that! And by "jury' I mean my scale, which is already biased against you. You can't just sell "collapsing" dreams and call it a business model. I demand "Full Disclosure" report on the crust to filing ratio before I sign anything

 

[JonRollo]

Which very often still uses plain wrong answers on several issues, yes in Chatgpt we trust... LoL. NOT!

i'll wait while you tell me which parts it got wrong. if you are so confident then also provide legal citations.

Just imagine if this numbnut bought a lifetime license directly from DA! They probably would be more hurt.

No that's not going to work. I don't sell dreams, I sell pies. Next to that they are closed source so I can't give any full disclosures and you're warned at forhand. I can only say there is some aired cream inside which might not keep up the height and so causing the collapsing.
This is nothing more than just a visual difference, the content is still the same so you won't miss anything, except maybe some air which you can also breath around you for free. I don't think our pie company is liable for your complaints.

Also you're not obliged or required in any way to buy pies from me, you can also choose to go somewhere else or use the option to buy the non collapsing monthly pies, they come this week with free lifetime umbrella you know, is a great deal, not?

if you are so confident then also provide legal citations.

I don't need to, you already did that yourself. You don't have a contract with DA, no account with DA, no DA customer and a license which is only valid with the server it's sold with. DA is no party here.

Although they seem interested in some pies came to my knowledge.

DA is no party here.

Did someone say Party? a Popcorn & Pie Party? Paid Per week?

 

[God]

what a hell

I watched this thread yesterday with much snickering, and I'm wondering what exactly the thread starter wants to achieve with all this attention (and pies and popcorn). My first impression: pretentious, and if you want certainty, get a lawyer. That's what they're there for!

But what's this thread good for? Popcorn and pies!

Well, a question that might rise is: When you get a brain aneurysm due to severe license questions and the resulting stress, does that in fact make the license more expensive because you have less days left in your life?

 

[Richard G]

I think like we've seen before, with yelling and crying and making a lot of fuzz publicly, he thought he wanted to achieve his license to be made usable. We've seen more of this in the past, also people whining because their internal licenses did not (or stopped) working at totally different places.

But it indeed was good for our popcorn and pie businesses and some allround fun for everybody reading it.

I needed a laugh on this dreary day, thanks guys/girls/bots!

But to be honest, I would have thought that Grok (which the "OP" no doubt is) would create better sentences. You might think he/she/it can't find his/her/its shift key, but then the all-caps lock key is working overtime. And Grok would probably not cite stuff from a competitor, but maybe that was just to throw us off

PS. I do own a lifetime license myself, 100% my own, no datacenter involved. Not really happy either, but being slightly more realistic.

A “Lifetime license” = you pay once and use the software forever. True. However, as has been stated by others here already: you don't seem to have a contract with DA and are probably duped by the datacenter. They made you pay for their purchase.

If you have a DA user account you can login and obtain the license from there. I have a 8 'lifetime' licenses and they're still working perfectly fine and/or are available to me. The expiry date is Jan 18, 2038.. Idk but I hope to see that day..

So don't blame DA for the fact the datacenter pulled a trick on you.

 

[Richard G]

The expiry date is Jan 18, 2038.. Idk but I hope to see that day..

Eh no you're wrong on that one.
That date is not the expiration date, it's just set as it's the longest day which one could set on Linux. Because for some reason Linux expect that date to have kindlike issues which other systems (dos/windows) had when we had the "year 2000 bug" and is called the Year 2038 problem.
You can find it here on wiki.
However, if that year 2038 issue had not been there, a later date would have been set because they licenses on itself keep working.

Lifetime can have various definitions, most known are:
- as long as the software is developped (sometimes longer),
- as long as the providing company exists (kind of same like developped)
- until declared EOL (also often used) and luckily this has not happened.
- other more commercial reasons (getting too expensive to maintain by a company for example)
- it can be declared end of support (like Windows does for example)
- it can be declared static, only that specific version is supported and nothing else (fewer company's use this, but it also happened)

What it certainly is -not- is the lifetime of the customer or the customers company. If that happens it's just having luck.

With the legacy declaration we in fact had a end of support declaration, most likely for good reasons because DA has always treated us good in the past and were always fair, also with prices which never have risen. Compare that to others, LoL.

Personally I'm also not happy, with some legal external licenses, but it is what it is. I'm already glad they are not declared EOL and we even can make use of a good conversion to half price modern license. Which is still not comparible with free lifetime updates in anyway, but find another company who does something like this for their customers.

And still we get updates for the current licenses and 3rd party systems involved, just not new upgrade support like newer versions of Mysql/MariaDB and OS. So well.... we can still live with it.

2038 is just maximum of 32bit timestamp, since DA start business with 32bit production.
