Honestly, this is the best possible outcome for Unraid users and Unraid as a business in my book. Existing customers will keep the licenses in perpetuity, Unraid will get continual income from lew licenses if and when new users re-up. The customers with perpetual licenses will be the ones who are the most vocal and evangelise about Unraid - I've had 2 friends get licenses since I set my server up, all because they liked how easy it was to manage. But it's understood that the company needs to make money, so a new model was needed. Honestly, given the alternative scenarios, this was the best option for all parties, so thank you for not alienating the base that will help you grow.

Looks like this is causing a bit of concern in some areas of the community. There's some wording that suggests an annual/subscription license system is coming in... Could we get some sort of official clarification on this? One of the more appealing elements of Unraid was the lifetime license option.
