I am a long-time vbulletin owned-license customer and I current am on vBulletin 3.6.x. When I purchased, I was given the indication that I could download security updates perpetually by using the renewal option. Within three years, things have changed so much.
It seems utterly incredible that we aren't even allowed to download security updated versions at a lower cost. Why was the $40 (earlier it was $30) membership renewal option removed.
I earn zilch from my forum as advertising revenue is getting very scarce these days and I see no reason to continue using a software like vbulletin which wants me to pay for even small updates. I am absolutely not interested in vbulletin 4.0. There should be a lower price for continuing with vBulletin 3.x series at least!
When I purchased, I thought I would have the option to download security updates without paying the full price of the new version every time.
I am utterly disappointed in this policy change over the years. No longer you seem interested in retaining old customers. Really sad state of affairs.
