Actually, several clients were invited to a private feedback group and have been giving us feedback for the past several months on how best to re-approach Invision Community Classic. Our goal was to make self-hosting viable for the future.

Honestly I like this. I do appreciate the self hosted option and I think IPS deserves to be compensated for continuing to provide the classic version. 
 
This provides a creative solution to an ongoing problem and allows a path forward for the self hosted version. 
 
This should allow both classic and cloud versions to co-exist for years to come! 
 
Kudos to whomever developed this solution! Thank you for not giving up on the self hosted version!!! 

Oh it's not that literal 🙂 it's about total time combined with total paid. If you lapse here and there it won't have any impact.

We're not. Not only are we not FORCING you to do anything, we are not even ASKING you to 🙂 
We launched these new pricing options days ago and nothing changed then and, now that you have noticed, still nothing has changed. Right now, this literally only impacts new purchases. For existing clients, do nothing unless you want to. For some clients it's a really good deal and they save money but it's up to you.

It is per-license and the promotion to extend your renewal date for free is also calculated per-license.

Yes there are a whole lot of terms and explanations.

We no longer sell Invision Community Classic with individual applications. This is in preparation for v5 where there will no longer be a separation for the "applications" like there is now. It will just be all bundled together and more tightly integrated.
Old pricing for full Invision Community Classic was $850 upfront and $300 per year.
New pricing is $499 upfront and $199 per year.
You can reach out to sales if you have questions about pricing or options.

Yes, it will.
 
If anyone has questions about your specific scenario, please reach out to us via email.
We changed the pricing structure to make Invision Community Classic more affordable for most people and give them access to more features. Most clients will see their cost go down. I know some, especially those that might have only one or two apps, will see their cost go up if they choose to go to the new license terms. However, you are getting a whole lot more and it's also waaaaaay simpler for you and us both to just have one cost rather than all the mixing and matching we did before.

Correct. So you would pay $199/year instead of $300.
Edit: Or $19/month. You can choose your option.
It should also give you credit for your history with your current license type and offer you at least a few months free 🙂
Yes, that's been fixed.
 
Those were greyed-out but I can see how that would be confusing.
 
For those of you asking about your current license or v5: you can keep your current license as is and v5 does not yet exist so nothing to report on that just yet.
