I’m using DEVONthink 3 at the moment (precisely: for over three years) and I’m quite impressed by DEVONthink 4.
The informations concerning the new pricing model let me ask the following question: I would like to know if a DEVONthink 4 license would receive maintenance updates even after the extension timeframe has run out? Or will I have to renew the license for that? Will the license renewal be necessary only for feature updates or also for maintenance updates?
Welcome @simon8
These things have already been asked and answered in other posts. Please use the forum’s search functions first to see if something has already been addressed.
As stated elsewhere: Our releases are always additions and improvements, not just fixes. We have only released hotfixes (a release only for critical bugs, like crashing on launch) twice in the almost 13 years I’ve been here. So in order to get updates you’d need an active license. And if a hotfix was actually needed, we would handle the situation professionally and fairly.
Thank you for your answer! I did a search in the forum, but obviously not thorough enough.
The new pricing model sounds fair, I will give it a try. DEVONthink is - since years - by far the most used program on my mac, therefore 9 Euro per month (I’m in Germany) is reasonable.
just to make sure. if someone has V3 they get a discount NO MATTER if they upgrade NOW or in one, two or three years from now? will the price(discount ) remain the same or it might increase by then?
Most likely it will remain the same within the next 2-3 years. Assuming that the inflation isn’t going to go up a lot and that exchange rates remain more or less the same. Not the best times for long-term predictions…
