They marketed it using the word "Indefinite" to differentiate it from subscriptions.
This was an indefinite LTS in my mind that lasted just 5 years.
- i386 5y agoDon’t call it an indefinite license. It’s false language to be using and it is entirely misleading.
- bberenberg 5y agoYou decided that it's an indefinite LTS. No one sold you that. An indefinite license means that the current version will continue to work as long as it continues to work. The maker won't ever turn off / break it intentionally. Not that they owe you bug fixes for any period unless otherwise stated.
- fhub 5y agoThat isn't quite what they said. [Quote] While the license itself will never expire, system updates from Apple could cause certain aspects of some software to stop working. For example, the Safari 5 upgrade stopped 1Password 2 from working correctly and required an updated version of 1Password. [/Quote] This wasn't an Apple change. But I get your point. FWIW they are still offering critical security updates according to support, just not fixing it when it ceases to work on Chrome.
- ipaddr 5y agoThis is what happened google updated breaking existing plugins. Why not use a version of chrome that supports this?
