After giving my pricing structure and licensing system much thought over the last few weeks I've decided to keep the licensing system the way it is.
Rather than trying to force people to renew their license (with a subscription system) it makes more sense that they should only renew if the added features actually warrant them doing so. This has always been my philosophy, however recent financial pressures have caused me to seriously reconsider this business model and waiver from my core beliefs. I think if you offer a decent product at a fair price then the economics will sort themselves out.
With that in mind I will also be lowering the renewal costs on all plugins in order to encourage existing license holders to renew their licenses and take advantage of new features that have been recently added (Medeek Estimator, labels, construction dimensions etc...).
In order to offset the decrease in renewal fees I will be increasing the initial cost of the plugins for new clients.
Later this month I will probably introduce a volume license (3-in-1 price) for all three plugins (mdkBIM Suite), however this will be only for new license purchases and renewals will still be handled on a per plugin basis.
