I belong to several template and extention package sites and most have taken a new model for developers who like me will be around for decades.
I have taken both companies offer of a reduced Lifetimer package for All products i subscribe to which provide lifetime upgrade and ticket/forum support for items previously purchased. ...... FOREVER (and they offer all new products for free
This gives me great mind at ease several times of year when normal subscriptions are due for a product that i would normally renew.(at a very large price unless renewing)
BUT
with the advent of Lifetime licenses this will now be the last renewal of ANY stackideas product and I will mow leave it with customers wanting these products to pay the bill
Its a sad day to say goodby to an excellent company but with the many options they have it is now confusing for me and the end customer to make charging and renewing easy.
A good example of the new Lifetime regime is the joomlashine developer options

One large developer payment in many upcoming extention and development models is going to price stackideas out of the high end market
I count 11 other companies using this new scheme for their HIGH end Developers. all other users use your standard model
is this goodbye?
