Hidden next to the term "classic license."

Thanks Mark, much appreciated. If I understand correctly, in addition to the $49 a month for the beginner hosted account, I would also need to purchase the classic license in order to have a copy locally for development. I would be interested in the forum module and having the ability to charge subscribers with Stripe (which I'm assuming doesn't require the Commerce app), along with my own app functionality. From what I've read here, the blog app is good to have for new developers to look at when trying to learn how to develop an app so I think I would want to purchase that. From the pricing page for self hosted (which I think is the classic license), that would mean paying $350 plus $55 a month for renewal? So to have a hosted beginner account and the code locally to develop an app I'd be looking at $350 up front and about a $100 a month in renewal fees. Does that sound about right?

From what I have read, it's not advised to turn developer mode on for a cloud-hosted account, but rather to download the software to work on locally. Does this require purchasing the software in addition to the cloud-hosted monthly fee? I am planning to add an additional cloud-hosted account for a new domain, but that new domain also needs some other PHP functionality (pulling data from a database, displaying it, editing the database, integrating with user using drop down lists, checkboxes, and string input form, nothing too cosmic). I am considering whether I should create an app and just have it all in the Invision software. The two main advantages *I think* is that my app would get the mobile-friendly display that was just released (this would be a HUGE benefit) and the other is accounts would be seamless between the forum and my own functionality. The downside is I would need to get up to speed on developing an app for this platform. Also, I would need to either be able to remotely access my database table with Python code, or have my app pull and edit data from a database hosted elsewhere. Many thanks for any help as I try to plot my course...

That would have been a great response to have gotten when I messaged him. Unfortunately I got an angry response to a simple question about whether it supported PHP8. I'm sure it's frustrating for him to get customer support requests over and over and often with the same issue especially from users like myself who are not familiar with the process and website here. I would have expected a bit more professionalism from him after having purchased and renewed his product, but as he took the time to copy and paste, he does not answer support requests in messages. In this thread sure. In a message, no. I'm sure his product and customer support will work for others, in my case it didn't. Cheers.

I've had this module for two years or so. I upgraded my Invision forum and this module didn't port over because apparently it wasn't upgraded to support PHP8 if I understood the upgrade message correctly. I tried contacting Adriano with a private message and got a repeated tongue lashing but no answer to my question on whether he was going to upgrade the module for the latest forum version (or if he had already). So after all this the only thing I have learned about whether this module is or will be compatible with the current forum, is simply that the developer doesn't support his product in private messages. So I've canceled my renewal of it.
