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.

    Well duh, most software these days doesn’t have a direct license cost; you don’t pay for the Netflix app on your TV, you pay for Netflix the service.

    (Okay, Netflix might not be the best example for sustainable software-based profit but you get the idea.)
