For me as well, paying for actual licenses will be more expensive out-of-wallet, but that in itself has a value to me as I now know I own a license that will not be revoked for whatever reason. It also means I am more in control over when and how to upgrade to new major version. The subscription model is also tied to a cloud syncing service which is also a _negative_ in my experience. And due to regulations it is even not allowed be used at my place of work. Having control over the license and therefore vault sync/no sync is also valuable.
That said, I _totally_ understand that the value proposition that Agile Bits give you and others is nice. It's just that for me, the value proposition has gotten significantly worse, so any amount of "it can be cheaper" does not really help here.
- dkonofalski 5y agoThis makes sense but, knowing that these won't be supported started with v8, it doesn't really matter if the license is not revoked. If I want to continue using the system, and all the benefits and value that come with it, I need to use v8. SSH Keys and Git support alone makes that more valuable than maintaining a local license version.
