You only repeated what Basj said already and so you haven't added any new information. That is unhelpful to anyone. I understand Stardock's definition of a Lifetime License. I am also ok with it as that's what you normally get buying software. It's just that others I've purchased from don't call it a Lifetime License unless it includes upgrades. What I am NOT ok with is the hugely increased cost of version 5. I spent $7.99 for Fences 2 in March of 2013.&nbs

What Basj explained is as I expected. When I upgraded from version 3 to version 4, it cost me $7.99 and it was a Lifetime License for the one version that I am still using. However, now it's about 3-1/2 times that cost if I want a Lifetime License for version 5. There are a few important things that SaaS (software as a service) makes sense for like Anti-Virus and Anti-Malware software. But as much as I like Fences, I can live without it, so it is not on that list

Looks like you can get a non-subscription license, but it's about 3 times the price of the subscription. They are calling it a Lifetime License but it's only for the single version I'd bet. Correct me if I'm wrong on this. Other softwares I have purchased with LIfetime Licenses include future updates. I'd pay $8-10 to upgrade to 5 but not if they are going to stop functionality after a year. I won't be paying 3 times what I have paid in the past for this software

I have the same issue with it showing the wrong background on my Windows 10 computer. " If you turn off translucent fences you should be fine." as suggested by one person only gets rid of the translucency, it does not however fix the issue. I like the Translucency option on Windows 10 and would like it to work correctly. Is there an actual fix for this issue that makes it work correctly? Telling us to "turn it off" is not acceptable.
