lol, company gets hosed by the same crap they do to consumers. “Lifetime” licenses aren’t lifetime.
There have been instances of things like “lifetime licenses” or free services that were “free forever” that turned around and started subscription services. I hope this clarifies my intent, I did not indicate a “warranty”.
Did it used to mean the consumers lifetime?
It spans the lifetime of this nugget here.
