Thanks for fixing https://boldminded.com/support/ticket/1248.

I just tried to download the fix with Publisher 1.6.10. but instead of a download link I can only find a $150 renew button.

I migrated from Devot:ee and the latest download there is 1.6.8.

Don’t you offer free bugfix updates?

(We don’t need new features, just want Publisher to work correct again.)

When Devot:ee added the option for renewal/upgrade pricing last year, I set all my add-ons to that immediately, which means after 1 year there is an upgrade fee. Within that year you get all the upgrades for free. Its not financially viable to offer free upgrades for life. I’m 1 person doing this on nights and weekends. The same upgrade plan was migrated to my site as well, so it looks like you made the original purchase on 6/18/2013. Devot:ee is not getting any new version uploads. My site is the only place to get new or renewed add-ons. Even if I was still selling on Devot:ee there would be a renewal fee.

I don’t expect free updates for life at all. I am more than happy to pay for new features and major upgrades. It feels a bit strange for me when terms change after purchase.

I can’t find any info about the renewal fee on your site, your license agreement or during the purchase process. May be you can communicate this more clearly before purchasing an add-on.

A Publisher license for a site with an expected 5 years life-time costs effectively $800 instead of $200. That’s a noticeable difference and good to know upfront for calculations and client communication.

But I am not here to discuss your business decisions any further. 😉

Are all future upgrades (e. g. EE3) covered by the yearly fee?

I’ll make sure to update my site so that is more clear, thanks for the input.

Unfortunately I don’t think it will be included in that yearly fee because it is massive rewrite. Its effectively a whole new add-on. 90% of it or more will be brand new code. I’m not trying to nickel and dime people, I’m really not, but I’m putting a huge amount of work into it, and I don’t expect everyone to port their sites from 2 to 3, thus many people won’t need to upgrade. The renewal fee covers bug fixes and new features, not a whole new codebase.

You have a good point about the 5 year life-time cost. I’ll reconsider the renewal pricing and get back to you later today.

I forgot to mention upgrading from Publisher 1.x to 2.x (for EE 3) won’t require a full purchase again, it will be a discounted price.

I changed the Publisher renewal price to $75. Publisher Lite to $40.

Hey Brian, $75 is a totally reasonable amount. Just purchased the renewal. 😊
