Group: Member Post Group: Newbie Posts: 1 Status:	I spent over 2 hours setting up my website file system, database, and email server for the install of a shopping cart software (WHMOS) to check it out from the Softaculous installation on Bluehost only to discover when I clicked submit, that there is no trial and this isn't open source software. Instead, my only option is to pay for a subscription up front and hope for the best. Because that always works out, right? So that's a couple of hours I'll never get back. Moral of the story: You have to read everything in the description to see if a license key is required to install the product, be repaired to pay for a subscription prior to install, or have spare time to waist before using Softaculous. ALSO: Be sure to LOOK AT THE RELEASE DATE of every app you're considering. MANY have not been updated in nearly a decade. By the way, I've used Softaculous to install some other apps and nothing came of any of them. Hoping this post will save someone of time. I've informed Bluehost of this as well. Maybe Bluehost will stop seeing Softaculous as a value add for their customers and begin seeing it as the time suck that it is. Alas, it will only happen once, as I'll ignore Softaculous from now on and post a review to warn others.
