I like Jetbrains licensing. Essentially you pay for updates and once you stop paying you’re locked in at that specific version, but you can use it indefinitely.

- Jcowell 4y agoHow does support work for this? Are non-paying customers no longer eligible for support? App wise would this lock features since developers would have no means of shipping X versions of an app I wonder , once the EU opens up the App Store will devs have to deal with cracked apps. Probably the full end of offline apps
- throwaway2037 4y agoAre non-paying customers no longer eligible for support? Yeah, basically. "If you pay nothing, you get nothing." The last paragraph is brilliant foresight. I guess apps will need to move towards the AAA gaming market where Internet connection is required to verify license, plus a bunch amazing anti-cheat/-hack stuff. Assuming EU does crack open the app stores (pun intended), it sounds like a great small business to offer some libraries that mobile app devs can use for these new needs.
