I bought a lifetime license to a server at cloudatcost, just a cheap little thing for me to run experiments on. It was never used for webhosting or anything that was mission-related in the slightest.
It was a hundred bucks, one time only fee, so even with low resources and minimum reliability it was worth it to me because of the one time only fee.
2 years in, they sent me a bill for $90, saying that if I didn't pay it they would cancel the service. I showed them my receipt for unlimited lifetime access, and they came back with "well, you still have to pay".
I said "I paid for lifetime access" and they gave me the, "we have altered the deal, pray we don't alter it any further" line so I canceled the service and smack talk them every chance I get. If you sell something under a specific license you shouldn't be allowed to change your mind after the fact. If I wanted to pay $90 a year for a cheap VPS I would have gone with a reputable company.
