Per the pricing plan, all licenses are forever licenses, but the lowest two tiers only offer 1 year of updates.

After that you can choose to renew, or continue with your current version.

If you do not like subscriptions, there still a lifetime plan, but at a higher pricepoint.

All existing plans are grandfathered in.

Note: I have mixed emotions about this, but I’m seeing a lot of rage bait, and if we’re going to rage we might as well have our facts straight.

If you haven’t subbed already and are interested, check out the unraid community at !unraid@reddthat.com. We are already discussing it over there too.

    They’ve gotta make money somehow.

    Having a bunch of intentionally out of date systems seems like a bad idea though.

      I’m hoping security updates are always included, but new features could be gated by lifetime/subscription. But no word on that yet.

        Yeah they don’t mention it at all which is a bit concerning.

      At least they are being honest and keeping their word on the lifetime promise to those who bought those. How many other companies keep their word like that?
