ok so while talking to support about my issue i asked about the monthly fee and if it had anything to do with my issue. also said it was shady since i paid for the lifetime license. this was the response. i couldnt upload the screenshot for some reason.
It has nothing to do with that.
Payment for licenses is still one-time. Your licenses will never expire.
The subscription plan will start in September and not now. All active users will be required to key into the plan then.
Monthly subscription is on per-license basis. Payment of $5.99 will occur only once a month regardless of the number modules under a license. If two licenses are merged, monthly subscription for one of the licenses will be canceled.
If you have licenses that you are not yet using, you can defer the subscription renewal till the time/month you will be using the licenses.
Even if you don't renew a license's subscription, the license will still be active and you will be able to install and open the software, add your accounts, settings... . The software will only ask you to renew the subscription when you start the tasks.
We had no better option than to start this subscription program. The other option was to shutdown like the other competitors which will be a bad decision, considering the number of people whose businesses depend on FollowLiker and the promises we have made to all users.
We are very sorry for the inconvenience, we would have preferred to keep the status quo ante. Please bear with us.
Thanks.
