Perpetual license option going away
Did anyone else get an email this morning that YouTrack Server will no longer have a perpetual license option?
One of the reasons I was comfortable choosing paid software for this purpose was because it had a perpetual license option.
So, now it sounds like you can pay for a year of service (self host it on your own infrastructure) and when a year is up, it turns off unless you renew, and all your data is stuck in their proprietary database.
The one nice thing is that they say current license holder will keep the original terms of having a perpetual license as long as you purchase additional support contracts within one year of your license running out. So, I can keep a perpetual license as long as I keep my subscription active…seems a bit ironic.
