Title: Renewal of registration (free version) now automatic?
Post by: MikeBCda on December 21, 2013, 10:47:31 PM
About a week or two ago I'd noticed that my free-version registration was showing something like 30 days left, which sounded about right since I'd last renewed sometime in Jan. of this year.  Since then, it's jumped to slightly under a year left, implying that it recently updated itself with no action on my part.

When did this come into effect?  Whenever, it was certainly not prominently announced, even though a fairly significant change.

(edit)  If it helps tie it into a specific defs or program update, it's showing the renewal as effective Dec. 5th.

Mine is still 60 days away, so it will be a while before I can test this theory.

If I remember right something was said about auto-renewal in the free version.
I think it was either before or during the early beta tests.

Don't quote me on that.
But I'm pretty sure.

I was going to check on that but avast has cleared out most of the "beta board".

Was this the thread you were thinking of?

The Beta Board has a "Child" board: Old Topics, which has nearly 900 topics and more than 13000 posts.
