Sorry, our traditional lifetime licenses are no longer available. This applies to datacenter (internal) licenses as well.
EDIT: We ultimately decided against the "Owned" license, which is a permanently activated license at $299 with one year of updates, and then $99/year after that. First, it's not a true lifetime license -- it's just a yearly license with a high upfront fee. Second, industry security experts have asked us to reconsider this offering because it encourages saving money by staying with older, potentially vulnerable software that becomes a risk to the server itself and other servers on the net. I apologize for this -- we were trying to introduce a hybrid/transitional product from the $299 lifetime but now I realize it should of been dropped just the same as our datacenter lifetime licenses, so we can move onto a more sustainable product type.
As a result of the demand created by the cPanel pricing fiasco, we've been forced to drop our loss-leader "Lifetime Licenses" earlier than planned. These licenses were not sustainable to begin with, but with an community-minded & non-abusive customer base like ours, we've managed to offer them for almost 15 years. I don't think anyone else could have done that.
Most importantly, we are not taking away anyone's lifetime license, and we are not going to start charging for updates. A promise is a promise. This announcement only relates to the sale of new licenses.
