Renewal Costs

Hello.

All our clients, including users, which purchased products before version 2.0 was released, have ability to upgrade WP-Property and it’s add-ons to the latest versions and activate licenses. After the licenses will be activated for the paid products, they will have ability to receive updates till 3 August 2016. After 3 August 2016 user’s won’t receive updates but still will have ability to use products.

If you purchased your feature and/or theme before 3d August 2015 you are able to use old license management. But only for old versions of plugins or themes.

Old licenses management will be available till 1st January 2016. It means, that we disable old licenses management on Account page after 1st January 2016, but you still will be able to upload features on domain, which was registered before.

Am I answer your question?

Regards.

Hi Maria,

I am worried about this part of your reply;

“It means, that we disable old licenses management on Account page after 1st January 2016, but you still will be able to upload features on domain, which was registered before.”

I have many licenses; some used (attached to a domain), some not used at the moment. How can my ability to add, remove, or change the domains I attach to these features be taken away? I paid money and labor for these features, and they would be rendered useless without the ability to manage them.

Am I not understanding correctly? Surely that must be the case.

Please clarify this for me.

Hello, UN_Rick

You can upgrade purchased add-ons to the latest versions and continue using them in new system of license management.

Do you not feel that that model is a bit deceiving as you said, hey, buy our product , support us,help us grow, buy our product, and we will support you. But now your saying, nah, never mind to what we said, we decided to change it.

where the proper model should have been, anybody buying from here on in, is under the new model, and anybody on our previous license, will remain to get licenses.

Hi Maria,

Sure, I could do that, but I should not be obligated to in order to continue using what I have already purchased.

I purchased these features, and the ability to manage them is an inherent and indisposable part of what I have already purchased. The management system is how UD designed it, and that is what I paid for.

I have been the biggest supporter of UD, have even provided contracted services to the company, but this policy, at least as it is being explained, is nothing short of a dagger in the back of your customers.

I suggest that this issue be reviewed closely (consult with Andy) before replying, because your answer is going to say a lot to anyone who might be considering buying UD products.

Looking forward to a positive resolution.

Hi,

I’m still trying to get some clarity on this.

If I “upgrade purchased add-ons to the latest versions and continue using them in new system of license management” will my software licenses be otherwise the same, or will they suddenly have an expiration date due to the “upgrade”?

I would like to know as well , as i do feel that that is not a ethical business practice.

And considering the clock is ticking pending the imposed deadline, to plan a response to this, we need to know as soon as possible.

Or will the deadline be extended while we await a clear explanation?

Hello,All.

Sorry for the delay. We are trying to prepare more detailed answer. At the moment I can say that yes, old system of premium features management will be available in UD Account for old versions of products. We decided to leave it for those who do not want or can’t update our products to the latest versions.

Regards.

Hi Maria,

Thank you for the update.

That sounds wonderful. Like you mention, not all sites can be updated, for various reasons. I’m glad that has been taken into account. Please pass along my thanks to everyone who contributed to this decision.

I would like to update the majority of my licenses to the most recent and stable version that does not incur an expiration date, so I am looking forward to the more detailed answer.

Thanks again for all your help.

To accommodate existing customers, those using a pre-2.0 version of WP-Property, the purchased licenses will remain available as they are until the end of time. In other words, if you were to keep version 1.42.4 on your site, or install it on a new valid domain, the premium features will be automatically downloaded and available for use as they have in the past. That being said, those legacy features will not be receiving any major updates in the future. So if you want to keep your sites the way they are, don’t upgrade WP-Property to the newer versions.

To keep your site up-to-date with the latest features, you will need to renew your subscription annually. Upgrade renewals are sold at a significant discount which will vary based on how many licenses your account has and for how many years you’ve had a license.

If you’ve already upgraded a site and decide that you’d rather keep using a legacy version of WP-Property along with legacy licenses, you may downgrade by downloading an older version from https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wp-property/developers/.

Andy said to me its possible to use the 2 licenses in an network installation of wp – for 2 languages. but its not possible to activate the 2nd licenses. can you help?

Hello,alois.horhager.

Contact us directly with your UD account details.

Regards.

Any updates on what the renewal costs will be? Unfortunately, I upgraded before I realized that the rules of the game had changed.

I tend to agree with daschenbrener and feel that the original supporters of UD (back when it was Twin Cities or something like that) should be grandfathered in (including updates) and not left in the dust. I understand your new licensing model, but we bought before that model with a different understanding.

So now, I need to find out what the upgrade costs will be so that I can make an informed decision, stay with wp-property or cut my losses and move on.
