Where does it say that?
That is common and it is the model I use for my own software. But that isn't what I understood from their website.
Home page:
"Pay Once, Use Forever. We hate needless subscriptions as much as you do. TextQuery comes with a perpetual license with free updates."
Pricing page:
"Perpetual license
Lifetime updates"
Which strongly implies every update is free, forever.
- hermitcrab 1y agoOk, it says that further down the pricing page. I don't see how that fits with "Perpetual license Lifetime updates". It feels deceptive.
- netsharc 1y agoInsert some convoluted argument about new versions being "new versions" and not updates, so one is not entitled to them ;-) , just like politicians argue things like genocide not being genocide. I hate the subscription model but I do recognize if they continously update the software, they'd like to get paid to do so.
- hermitcrab 1y ago>if they continously update the software, they'd like to get paid to do so. Absolutely. Just make it clear.
