#2Has any company’s “lifetime” license lasted more than, say 5 years? 10? (I mean for software that is updated or requires a server of course).
I like the jetbrains model well enough.

My Plex lifetime pass is still going strong

#5Isn't this just breach of contract, plain and simple? Change of ownership should have little to do with it.

#8Fastmail.fm also pulled this one, although I got a good 10 years out of it plus 3 years free subscription after it was announced. Whichever way you look at it, that's plenty of time to move, or indicator of a good business model that means the company will remain in business and I won't lose my mail (and as long as they don't jack prices when it runs out).

I've been a Jetbrains customer from the very first release, introduced the product in every company I came into. Switched to VS and then switched back. I do think Jetbrains does a lot things right, they also honored past licenses and helped when I had license trouble. So now for some years im on an All Products Pack license and it's nice to just install whatever you want.

NFT has entered the chat.
In all seriousness though, I think the only lifetime licenses that come to mind are probably ones like JetBrains and old software where you had the install medium on a disk and a key to install it with and it required no software updates, assuming the software doesn't need the internet to verify, you're pretty much guaranteed what you paid for. Don't you miss lifetime ownership of software licenses? :)
