Here are some facts readers should consider:
Rene’s purchases were made over 27 months ago in July 2015.
In September 2015 we made the decision to rework the product architecture. We notified all of our users by email, newsletter, blog posts, and social media that they would need to upgrade to new add ons starting in 12 months. We set an official sunset date for the legacy architecture 12 months in the future: September 2016.
A few seldom-used add on products did sunset in December 2016, none of which Rene purchased.
We did not sunset most products until August 2017, 11 months after the original sunset date and 23 months after the initial notifications.
During the entire transition period from September 2015 until June 2017 we offered discounts for all buyers of the legacy products for all or most of their original purchase price.
Our current premium add ons are Power, Experience, and Premie. They have been online and fully supported with free email, forums, and Slack channel support since January 2016. They were offered for all new buyers while we continue to product patches for our entire legacy line of products. They contain all of the features that were offered in over a dozen of our legacy products, simplified into 3 main add ons. They will continue to be supported for the foreseeable future.
Since Rene’s YouTube post 11 hours ago, his first attempt to contact us, we have been in communication with Rene by email. We have replied with details on how to downgrade and retain full functionality that he originally purchased back in July 2015 as well as the proper upgrade path if he chooses to upgrade WordPress and our base (free) product to the latest version.?
