Thanks,Brogan.
I think it's wise and necessary for xenforo to announce the exact number before starting to sell the product.From 40 to 140 would be a wide range to make decision.
Well it is a valid point to make.
Not all license owners will necessarily keep up to date with the annual support fee (although it would be great if they did
), which is exactly why a reactivation fee has been proposed.

Thanks.I've posted on Ashley's profile page,but he didn't respond.I agree, it is a consideration that needs to be taken into account.
I'm sure Ashley will make an announcement once they have decided.
I'll give him a little nudge anyway

If they made the Reactivation Fee anything over 70 bucks it would be better just to buy a new xenforo license for 140 dollars. You would get a new license plus support

but you still won't have support on the older license. so that does not change anything?

Bear in mind that we want customers to renew the licenses consistently which will support the ongoing development of XenForo. We want a reasonable and sensible process that supports this. The word 'reactivation' is being used to demonstrate that it is different from a renewal when in reality it is a type of renewal.
The reactivation fee is unlikely to be more than 2 renewal fees.
Example: Regular renewals
Year 1 $100/$140 purchase
Year 2 $40 renewal month 12
Year 3 $40 renewal month 24
Total $180/$220
Putting this in reverse, at the end of 3 years, it should cost the same (more or less) for any customer who benefits from an update in a 3/4 year period.
Example:
Year 1 $100/$140 purchase
Year 2 $0
Year 3 $80 reactivation fee (payable from month 13)
Total $180/$220
We will confirm the details before the sale and keep in mind that these are examples for the purposes of illustration.

why would it cost more to re-activate than to buy a new license? Shouldnt it cost less?
It doesn't.
A renewal fee is $40.
A license fee is $140 (after the 1 day sale).

2 renewal fees = $80
The cost of a new license = $140.
It is still more expensive to buy a new license.

They wouldn't make a profit, they would just technically be paying less.
