Do we still have the advertisements when we pay for a license? Especially advertisments for competitors!

Are the ads removed now on softaculous.com etc? I did not check.

I hope you guys plan to continue support after college! Be my luck you 3 will turn into dentists or something :)

I will go with dedicated server lifetime license when I get logged in.

Thanks


Sir login at the forums and then go to the Client Area
It will work.
Please let us know if it doesnt. We are working on the Login issue directly from the client area.

All the ads have been removed and 2.0 will make it even better for ratings, reviews and demos.
So no ads are going to be there !

Regards,
Alons

No. We dont provide unlimited server license
However if you got many servers we can give a huge discount.

Please contact at sales [at] softaculous.com
Specify the number of servers as well.

When are you going to release the free version (you said there are 50 scripts there, does it include blogging tools?)?

Posted By: alons on August 28, 2009, 11:15 am | Post: 37
The free version is already functional.
When you install Softaculous without purchasing a License its the free version.

Also if you have a license from before then its a premium license till 31/12/2010

Was a bit of a surprise move, but I can fully understand your position, "free" is never taken as seriously as paid for services etc, unfortunately.

I've just upgraded to a lifetime license, for the sake of $24 it really isn't much of an issue and I could in theory keep Fantastico running if needed. I'm a student, money isn't exactly in abundance but I think this is well worth it.

Lets just hope you keep it up, thanks for the great system!

So, how do we take benefit from this offer? I have already set it up on a few VPS, and will probably install it on a few more soon. How do I get the discounted prices?

All VPS licenses before 27th August 2009 2:00 PM GMT can become lifetime licenses for $12 only INSTEAD of $75.
Even if you dont become lifetime PREMIUM Status has been granted to such licenses till 31-12-2010

All licenses after 27th August 2009 2:00 PM GMT will be as per the prices in the first post.
If you purchase more than 4 licenses at the same we can offer you further discounts.
And if you are a bulk purchaser even greater discount will be given to you.

Are you a VPS/Dedicated provider ?
Its better if you contact us via email at Softaculous Sales.

Regards,
Alons

Hi i just added my license number to the client area and it's showing up as type dedicated when in fact it's installed on a vps. Is this a known issue?

Just for discussion, I'll quote the post from the support area here too (without the quote):

Source link: Support area

What is your aim? Trying to convince people to pay money for the project just so they can access the most-used scripts, or get as many people use it and have an extensive option available for those that wish to support your software?
If the latter, you need to at least include 2 of the most used scripts per category in the free version. For forums, phpBB3 and either SMF of MyBB.
And so on for all categories. This will make Softaculous more widely used, and once that happens there'll be more people requesting the premium version.

To be frank, though, I think that if you intend to offer a free and a premium version, you should instead of calling 'free' and 'premium', give them different names. Call the free one 'Softaculous' and give the premium one a different name (and preferable also a lay-out that looks professional but is associated with the premium version instead of free version) since those that know Softaculous, probably know it as a free service. Why? Customers can't be fooled that way if there is a clear difference between the free and the premium version. The hosts that advertise Softaculous as one of their services, advertises the 58 scripts version. The hosts that advertise the premium version, though, says they're offering more then 100 scripts. Instead of just saying 'Softaculous, an auto-installer for your favorite scripts', and leaving the customer to guess whether it is the free or the premium version.


Also, with the current setup, I wonder whether the API for creating your own auto-installers to work with Softaculous will still work in the free version. If so, how would you prevent people from just trying to mimic your installation script and offer them for free on the web, thus removing the difference. Another reason for having a different name + lay-out for the premium version.



Just some food for thought, Alons.

Yes thats a known issue.
Just let us know and we will fix it.

2.0 will be able to determine the difference accurately and you wont need to contact us for that.
I have updated your license Info.

vT16 your point is noted down and we will discuss on a Plan of action soon.

Alons
