Sandboxie lifetime license discontinued
TaoPhoenix:
I hope they honor the existing lifetime licenses. I have my guess as to how that will go; only time will tell.

That's why it's a fascinating thing, the "lifetime license". A "lifetime" is a long time - usually the "life of the product" is the limiting factor, but don't rule out weasel moves years later.

And if I were a betting man, I'd bet that within a year or two there will no longer be a Sandboxie product - the technology will be used in some other product that Invincea introduces.
Of course, I'm just speculating; I'd like to be proven wrong.
MilesAhead:
Before the subscription scheme I seem to remember a lot of licenses were for free updates within the major version number. Like when I bought WinZip I could get all the updates to 6.x via download. But to get to 7.x they offered a discount. So the burn was buying just before a major version change.

Heh there's room for a satire fiction story:
"Lifetime License!!"
(Cue dramatic music)
Punchline: The company hires assassins to kill the customers! :P

Or the cliche where the evil computer does them in. Like if you turn off Windows Updates the programmable thermostat gets a short at 4:00 AM and burns the house down. :)
