I'm giving them a year until lifetime licenses start to mean nothing. (slrpnk.net)

Plex lifetime is the gift that keeps on giving. Same with some indexers like nzbgeek.

Nah, your lifetime license will be fine. They'll just slightly rename the products, release them as "entirely new, unrelated products" and cease updating it under the old name. You can still use the old, never updated product in perpetuity, if you want...

The first time this happened to me was a MUD client of all things. zMUD discontinued, check out the new cMUD! Also available with a lifetime license just like zMUD was!

I bought a lifetime license for Malwarebytes back in 2012 and I'm shocked that they still honor it to this day. I feel like it's only a matter of time before I lose it.

I see so many ads for malware bytes that it almost looks like malware itself lol. I'm pretty sure they have a lot of money.

Yes but not all of the monies. - Every single MBA ever to curse the earth with their presence.

I learned my lesson about 'lifetime' updates with a Tom Tom GPS unit, from the late '90s, maybe early 2000s. After about 4 or 5 years I couldn't install the latest map updates, so I contacted CS. They said, "Oh yeah, lifetime means the time of the expected life of the unit, which is 4.5 years. We don't support that model anymore. Any other questions?"
