Hi @sociactive,
Thank you for your feedback!
I apologize for the frustration this change must have caused you. I do understand that this is not a popular decision, however, we analyzed the product sustainability and growth, and in order to further support the innovation and development we appeal to our users to further support our work by either recommending our product if they like it or financially by paying for the premium version.
Please keep in mind that Neve is a customer-funded project and sometimes we need the support of our users too. We have tried and we are still trying to make Neve available both to free and paid users without affecting the free users too much as the community is important to us.
With that in mind we have decided that if you want to update to the newer version, you’ll either have to get the premium version to get more features or accept that some of the options will be missing. Alternatively, you’re free to continue to use the 3.2.x version for as long as you want. https://docs.themeisle.com/article/1614-neve-copyright-text
If you think that Neve PRO does not provide enough value to buy it, I do understand it and with the support of those that will do, we hope to increase the value over time thru new features to make it worth it for you too.
Thank you for understanding and have a great day ahead!
