timekiller Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Ok, so first off, let me say that I bought the forever updates license. I love LaunchBox/BigBox and believe in supporting the devs! But here is what I don't understand: LaunchBox is free. When new versions come out you can download and install it, even without any license. So, what is the difference between the $20 and $50 license? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 if you get a $20 license after a year you can't update the program any longer or it won't work with your license if you get $50 you get lifetime updates. So if you only get the $20 license and your year is up you have to turn off updates or BigBox won't work any longer. LB will continue to work if you update but not with any of the premium features.

Nikoto Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I want to tag onto this Subject. I travel with my laptop system to and from my Girls house about 2 hours away. Will this eventually get my key kicked even though it's not changing machines? $50 is cheaper than a tank of gas now.. Loving this software. nikoto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timekiller Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 I know the answer to this one! There is no DRM on the license file, so you could install it on 50 computers and it will still work. You won't get kicked because your ip changes. (according to https://www.launchbox-app.com/premium - under "We Hate DRM") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damageinc86 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Well jeez I hope a piece of software wouldn't restrict your license based off of traveling a few hours. That's just creepy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
