What has become of lifetime licenses?

Is the use of Fences officially only a subscription now, or is there still an option to buy lifetime use?

So now, from what I found:

- The only lifetime user-license you offer is for 5 devices, and costs around of $51.82.

- Fence 4, that cost around of $20 if I remember well, is no longer sold, and completely erased from official front-end

(About that, beside of refreshing the fences in front of windows, I don't understand what Fences 5 does better than the older version that is worthy $51.82 when the previous versions were around of 20 or 30 so if there is a link or an option to get a 1-device lifetime license for Fences 4 or Fences 5, I'm interested).

Is that it or did I miss something?

Is there a price cut for someone who own a older version of Fences and want to upgrade to the Fence 5?

  • I can't verify the price since my location most probably be different than yours, so my price most probably different, might be even higher with locat taxation and all.

  • From what I know, yes, once Fences 5 released. Fences 4 has stop selling in Stardock. But, I do believe, you still can purchase Fences 4 from Steam. Not sure if it still available once Fences 5 released on Steam soon.

  • as mentioned on Upgrade Fences 5 FAQ.

    Is there an ‘Upgrade’ option for a permanent license?

    At this time, ‘Upgrade’ pricing is only available for subscription licenses and not for permanent licenses of Fences 5. However, during the Release Preview, permanent licenses are discounted for all customers.

Thank you,

Hello again. 

I just bought a Fences 5 lifetime license. 

I see the purchase in my purchase history, along with the key CSV document.

But Fences 5 doesn't display in my downloads. 

Is that normal?

To you two,
thank you for actually reading my message before answering. I'm glad you were present to provide an answer.
It was a cache problem, indeed, since now  Fences 5 appears. Have a nice day!
