Microo Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Indeed. However it only comes with 6 months support, to get the first year you need to include one renewal ;)Yup he is right, but I personally think it's a bad idea 149$ for 6months only...

riven3d Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 he is wrong about one thing, if your license expires you dont have access to the security updates, as you wont be able to download anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richstar Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 So can I pay $10 now to "reserve" my $69 price?I am guessing that I can't. I won't be able to afford the new price. I am not sure how that compares with vBulletin's pricing regime but it seems high. I'm going to ask why it was increased.I'm sorry if my questions seem dumb.

riven3d Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 vBulletin if you pay for 1 year then choose not to pay the next your cant use the board anymore, at least with IPB your allowed to use it for life once you pay for the initial license fee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat Barrie Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 he is wrong about one thing, if your license expires you dont have access to the security updates, as you wont be able to download anything.Incorrect. I based that statement on a statement by Lindy, who as the COO of Invision Power Services, should know.So can I pay $10 now to "reserve" my $69 price?I am guessing that I can't.

riven3d Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 and your incorrect as where would they get the security fix? they cant download it in their client center, they wont have IPSB to get it from and IPS certainly wont post it on the company forums.

riven3d Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 they have posted telling us about the security fix but not the fix itself, the link always leads you to your client center to download it.For a Perpetual or Lifetime License, there's no such thing as not having access to the updates as it never expires update-wise.like dah, and i wasnt tallking about them now was i? this discussion started about the yearly/standard pricing and what comes with/without it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straight from the horse's mouth, so to speak. You might want to take your foot out of your mouth.http://forums.invisionpower.com/index.php?showtopic=227136Aha, found the thread!

Keven Fox Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 I think they still attach files for minor, or was it major security updates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antony Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Charles is reading so you might get an answer. Also, I believe Lindy is the CEO rather than the COO, a position he formerly held. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lindy is the CEO (Chief Executive Officer) which is in fact a higher position than Chief Operating Officer. So even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 guess we're getting way off topic here, but who is COO then if Lindy isn't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
