Perpetual License

from Stardock Forums

I am disappointed that you don't provide perpetual licenses for most of your product (only for Fences, as I can discern).
I very much resent subscriptions of software for a variety of reasons:

a) I am not prepared to pay for the software anew each year
b) If your company would cease to exist, I would worry that the subscription model would render my installation useless.
c) Updates would not necessary occur frequently to accommodate for security issues or new OS's

I'm aware that b) and c) are minor issues, but those are nonetheless real possibilities.
For the above mention reasons, I am willing to risk the possible cost of upgrading versus the continuous subscription that is offered.

So please offer perpetual licenses for all of your software.

Best regards,

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. But, Stardock do sell permanent license for all its software products. Which individual Stardock software product you are referring to that are selling subscription only?

Thank you.

Other than Object Desktop which is subscription only, and Fences which has a subscription option, all the apps are non subscription.

Be aware that whilst the licenses are permanent for the apps, they are for the current major version only.  So buy fences 4 and your license will work for all v4 versions but not v5.
