![]() While the amount of work somewhat keeps constant. So its not a long term viable strategy to saturate your user base with lifetime users as at some point the potential for new users is exhausted, hence the incentive to keep the software working goes down. The thing with a project like sandboxie is that its never really done, you have to always perpetually keep up with a moving target. "if there are breaking changes in some Windows updates" than this require work to be fixed, work that should be valued. Large is a bit more then the Medium, hence is valid for at least twice as long as the medium plus it will work with later builds until something new truly ground breaking comes a long. Medium is a typical buy current version and get 1 year of free updates, them buy the next current version. Small/Business is basically a subscription model, yes. Updating the documentation/writing guides would be a very attractive opportunity to contribute ) The only option to get a perpetual certificate is to contribute to the project in a meaningful way, invest your life time and you get something for life. I think there may be an issue with some Unicode characters, if you write me an email with the old cert I'll verify that and send you an new one that is tested to work reference n. I can't activate my supporter certificateĭid you try to paste the entire block of text (starting from the Name line)? The simplest way to contribute is to help keeping updated the GitHub copy of the Sandboxie documentation by providing a number of meaningful changes, for example more volunteers are needed to keep it constantly updated with the new introduced settings mentioned on the changelog. If you have a type contributor certificate, it wil never expire reference n. PS: should i make a dedicated post about supporter certificates? reference n. contribute to the project in a meaningful way, if you did that already drop me an email as GitHub does not have PM's and does not show emails so I can't reach contributors directly, then you'll get one as well.When donating, indicate that you want to receive a certificate, to get one also sent by hand so it may take some time.Purchase a certificate directly on my homepage, then you get it instantly as it is generated by the system.Become a Patreon and get a certificate for at least as long as you are a patron, as i need to send those out by hand it may take a day or two.To summarize there are 4 ways to get a certificate: This is described here: and I believe I have put some links to this location in the plus UI. Unless such a small feature is reasonably only useful in a corporate environment in which case that would only be available to certified users. Not to a small extra menu option somewhere or alike, The plan is to make it apply to large new features like the new box modes, these are a major change in sandboxies operation enabling usage scenarios which were not possible with the old behavior. Having said that, I'm going to share some posts provided on Slack channel, Wilders forum and GitHub: reference n. If someone would like to provide contributing guidelines through a pull request, see: Oh and before I forget - thank you very much for actively maintaining and improving Sandboxie! □ I would really like to have an option to support/pay for Sandboxie Plus that is not time restricted in any case (like in Large, but without the limitation to the major release). It could also mean, that even the Small option could remain functional for an indefinite amount of time. The wording "at least x years" and "until a major release" are very vague and could mean, that a purchased supporter certificate could start expiring at any time. has the similar issue with Medium, but delayed until a new major release.all features available during the validity period remain enabled for newer builds □ until a new major release □.valid for at least two years (could be the same as small?). ![]() This is somewhat near to a perpetual license, but it does not work well with software that might need to be kept up to date to function. This could also render Sandboxie useless, if there are breaking changes in some Windows updates. after expiration, the license is invalid for newer builds.after expiration, the license is invalid.valid for at least one year (what does that even mean?).This is what I understood from the currently available options: ![]() ![]() However, the "supporter certificates" basically sound like a commercial subscription model instead of a donation initiative. I understand, that software development takes time and effort and therefore have no problems, paying again for new features of Sandboxie Plus. I am using Sandboxie since 2011, and also bought the lifetime version from the previous developer. Do I understand it correctly, that there is no "lifetime" option anymore to unlock all features of Sandboxie Plus? ![]()
