February 2, 20242 yr I'm currently in the trial period and like what I've seen so far. I do have a question. Do major version upgrades cost to upgrade? ie. If I buy the unlimited drive version 6.x now, will I have to pay again for version 7?

February 19, 20242 yr We need an official clarification and statement about this more than ever. New users and new licenses for current users need confirmation and ALL new versions of the OS are going to be honored to license holders.
February 19, 20242 yr Well, it looks like I'll be going somewhere else, and I was thinking about making another server as well. It looks like Truenas, Open Media Value, or Debian with Casas OS.
February 19, 20242 yr Joining the thread. Pretty sure this amazing community won't survive a payment plan, but maybe that's intended..... If the Pro license isn't grandfathered, I'm sure most of us will drop. I'm tired of everyone trying to get monthly payments out of their customers.....

February 19, 20242 yr Meh, I do not want to pay a yearly subscription but I will pay for major updates from one version to another. I do not think the current "Your license is good for every future version" is a sustainable model. I have no problem, and never have had a problem, being charged for upgrades from one major version to another major version. Edit: I have a half dozen licensed licenses that would likely have to pay to upgrade, though not all boxes would likely get upgraded if the features in the release were needed/wanted.

February 21, 20242 yr What I am wondering from the linked blog post: Quote [...] Starter and Unleashed licenses will come with one year of software updates. After that, customers will be able to pay an OPTIONAL extension fee, which makes them eligible for another year of updates. If you choose not to renew, no problem. Coud a new user use f.e. "Starter" for 1 year, not renew for updates in the 2nd and pay for the updates in the 3rd year, or would he have to "pay" for the updates in the skipped year as well.
