However when offering is replaced with requires, that's when I'll get upset.

Not really. It's not a subscription at all. You are not obliged to keep WUP paid every year to have your plugins working (unlike subscription). Personally I have no prob with WUP.kenobi77 wrote:WUP is an attempt at continued revenue streams after purchase, a sort of subscription but not exactly. It's probably that ambiguity, do you need WUP, when do you need, how much is it, how much will it go up overtime.....that causes a lot of problems in itself

But not getting 64-bit without WUP, that would mean upgrade from pre v9 to v9 - won't it?JJ_Jettflow wrote:

But if you do not update the WUP any features, or more important bugfixes, will not be available to you until you pay. I remember that when I had to dole out for WUP to get the 64 bit versions of some of my plugs that fell past the WUP expiry date. I was not too impressed with that.
At least with the CW subscription, you get to keep what you have got after 12 months and like the WUP, your software is frozen in time with no added features or upgrades until you re-subscribe. But you do not have to pay any more than the 12 month subscription. With WUP you pay for the plugin and then you pay again when you get the WUP updated...and you will eventually have to update when something you need comes along...like 64 bit.
Yes, some of them were quite old come to think of it.But not getting 64-bit without WUP, that would mean upgrade from pre v9 to v9 - won't it?
Wihtout WUP system that would mean major version upgrade anyway, by any vendor.
Didn't know that but then again I only have one Waves plug at this time (NLS) so...But with v9 licensed - you get updates from v9r1-to now if v9r25 or so - where r is revision with bugfixes, some enhancements like now supporting 96k, or 192k as max samplerate etc. Quite a few plugins were 48k max when I purchased two years ago - to my surprise.
True enough but if you do not want or cannot afford the WUP and another purchase, that voucher expires. One time, I got to use it, the next time I did not.Purchasing wup also get you a voucher on same amount to buy some more stuff. Bundles 50% off, single plugins 25% off.
That, I hope, is going to be something that a subscription-based CW is going to resolve. If they leave things too long, they risk users stopping their subscriptions. However, I just received an update this morning..so far so good!But I like Cake style too, nothing there to offend me. But it's nothing different from WUP, really, but that bugfixes after lapsed subscription are not for free. But real world with Cake before was bugfixes within 4 months or so and the rest left for next major release anyway.
And it cost $16.70 to renew wup for that alone.JJ_Jettflow wrote: Didn't know that but then again I only have one Waves plug at this time (NLS) so...
