??? That was not my point
I'd also like to know what the point was if possible.
Should I extend my license (!)

Well, the question was meant for the topic starter, why do you want to answer that anyway?
Second, the answers you give show me that you didn't understand my post. You probably read the first line and thought you had to respond.
What do you mean by that? If you renew your license, you support development. I'm not saying that you shouldn't do that, but why would you do this up front, as in early? If there is no discount, I would just wait until the license expires or even wait until there is a new release to be downloaded.
Yes, that's the same. You really don't understand do you?

I think it's the opposite. When the system offers something new, I buy it. They don't develop it further just because I buy it. So supply creates demand.

Possibly you have sent your question as a dm then instead of posting it in a public thread. Or tagged the thread starter and mentioned that you do not want any answers as you consider it as rethorical question and no discussion anyway as you consider your opinion as the only one that is valid and relevant.
That's what I wrote after you said "this was not my point". And I asked you to explain what your point is - which you still did not do.
A bit harsh and clearly untrue.
There is no "early", as you have been told earlier (but obviously failed to recognize). Either you are licensed or expired. I extended indeed "early" at the end of 2023 when I bought 2 years extension despite my license ran until August 2024. You seem to relate the license solely to being able to download actual versions which is a complete misunderstanding of what you buy with a license.
You really don't understand do you?
Seems rather to be you who does neither understand what the license is nor why one could want to stay continuously licensed despite

I wrote that it's just my feeling because there's nothing official! I think this is because XF updates are becoming fewer and fewer, and for this reason, admins are renewing licenses less and less unless there are security bugs that need fixing.
With a new version, they can change the rules like Invision 5 did...

Is this true? And in comparison to when? It shouldn't be too hard to check before making such statements:
Announcements
Get the latest news and announcements about XenForo, including new releases and development updates.
xenforo.com
We had a gap of six month between July 25 and Jan 26 which has been discussed excessively on this forum. It has now been bridged with the release of 2.3.8.. Other than that I can't see any incidence of "fewer and fewer releases".
Maybe you should relate to facts rather than to phantasy or your feelings...
Is this the case? Do have any insides in the company that we others lack? Again, Chris has officially stated the opposite of what you claim.
So again: Maybe you should relate to facts rather than to phantasy or your feelings...
And you could as well be hit by a meteroite this afternoon. Either is possible - but not probable. Once more Chris has officially stated the opposite of what you say.
So again: Maybe you should relate to facts rather than to phantasy or your feelings...
Seems that you are averse to facts and instead like to create drama and FUD.

I think they're showing a commitment to improving the software. If you don't have addons or if you do. If you're not making money and don't need it, don't upgrade. The good thing about this software is you can upgrade later.
Personally, I support it because they are showing progress. They're also listening and incorporating suggestions from the developers. I've customized my first addon and I'm looking forward to do more on the platform if they continue to modernize it and make it easier for developers to do things. The software is very capable and appreciate the efficiency for how old it is.
Once they actually update a few core things, I think there will be a return to niche forums.. Just my $0.02c

I say wait till there’s a new update but then I’m a good developer and I know how to fix my own problems so each their own.
I completely agree. Aside from that, unless there's a significant update, I don't plan on upgrading. Even despite un-official statements.I say wait till there’s a new update but then I’m a good developer and I know how to fix my own problems so each their own.

I would wait until 2.4 to renew your license.

Even if your forum had so many bugs in it that you needed to upgrade. C'mon mate that's why you have the minor updates.
So see you alter 2.3.10.11..99
Yes you right. Of course all minor updates are important. But paying annually for these minor updates isn't fair. Because once we pay, the developer should stand behind their product. I'm not criticizing the XF licensing system here; it's their choice, but I think they could be fairer to users as well.

Next one is 2.4 mate.
2.3.9: "This version only includes security fixes and any bug fixes we previously said would make it to 2.3.9 have now been delayed until 2.3.10."
