>But literally nothing changed with regards to the license.
Yes, it did. The original agreement[0] was for "a one time, life-time registration which will work with current and future versions of mIRC". The new agreement[1] "entitles you to three years of free updates to new versions of mIRC. If you are a business user, you will need to renew your licenses yearly at a discount".

Delivery matters, though. And for what it's worth, I'm not getting the sense that a lot of the people in this thread who are frustrated by this are simply never going to pay. You can simultaneously be annoyed by this change and also understanding of why.

- fnordpiglet 4y agoThat’s only if you relicense. You are not obliged to do so. Read the article closely.
- jjulius 4y agoI've read it, and I already know that, yes, it sounds like the dev is willing to grandfather your existing license agreement if you reach out to them directly. >That’s only if you relicense. I mean, sure, but I don't know how else I was supposed to take, "Literally nothing changed with regards to the license". "Literally nothing" is pretty specific.
- fnordpiglet 4y agoSorry, there’s the license that you enter into and is in effect for your duration of the license. Then there is the license that is offered today for someone entering into a new license. I was referring to the former (and I think that’s generally what folks are talking about here and in the blog), but it sounds like you were referring to the latter.
