We bought the lifetime licenses when there was no restriction on them and they were the highest license sold at that time.
The current offer to get a full feature set of software is converting your lifetime license to a monthly paid license with some discount.
From a business ethics perspective, lifetime licenses should be equal to current unlimited licenses.
If there should be an upgrade, there should be a one-time fee to upgrade the lifetime license to include all current features of the software.
By the way, I've been using DirectAdmin for more than 15 years and I have no complaints with the company and software, they even helped with converting dedicated licenses to internal data centre licenses for me and it helped a lot at that time, but I don't understand current licensing policy. I understand it may be better for them to sell monthly license types in the long term, so I'm okay to buy new monthly licenses when I need new licenses, but why are you punishing the people who already invested in your company in the past?
