License policy stinks - cryptoc

I also bought when "free upgrades forever" were promised. Frankly, most new versions have brought little but bug fixes. It's just not worth upgrading, even now that I would prefer a Universal binary. Certainly not at $30 a year. If colloquy didn't open a new window/growl notification for every private message or notification I'd be using that instead.

Agreed. It's a rip off. - Stormchild

I bought the program for ~$30 as well. I wouldn't have had a problem with paying an upgrade fee for major new versions, but to be forced to pay the full price again is BS. He could have simply asked for another $10 to upgrade from v4 to v5 and I would had no problems paying that. Instead I'm stuck with version 5.0.x, and I certainly won't be paying again.

dissapointed at lisense policy - kknopp

For one, if you bought Snak within 2 years of said uprade it cost you nothing.

If you bought it after that it cost you LESS than full price.

The only people that payed FULL price I believe were NEW buyers.

I don't think paying for a IRC application EVERY 10 years is asking for a lot.

That is the last time Ken asked for "new money"

So your complaints are a bit invalid.

License policy spelled out in large friendly letters and short words - SnakDev

A Snak license key is valid forever. It never expires.

You can upgrade to any new version for free within two years after purchase or renewal. A renewal is $19 and covers you for another two years. The initial purchase is $29.

The license will continue to work forever in whatever version you are using when the two years are up.

If you don't want to upgrade, you don't have to. You can continue to use Snak for as long as you want without paying anything but the initial fee.
