Plugin Alliance doesn't seem to disclose changelogs on their site for any of their plugins, say nothing of the "older" ones. Wonder why that is?martinjuenke wrote: ↑Tue Jan 15, 2019 7:36 am The prices for their older plugins have completely crumbled in the second hand market ...

How long did you demo them for before buying? Were the time limits on the discounts a factor? Would you buy them at the regular price?
They are not impulse buys for everyone. But they are impulse buys for many people. And the marketing tactics rely on that. I don't think that's a controversial statement if you know marketing.

Yeah, it's not where you would expect it to be, both/either on the product page itself or in "Manager Registered Plugins" right next to the download links.
You need to go to the FAQ/Support page here:https://www.plugin-alliance.com/en/support.html
Then scroll all the way down to or Ctrl-F for "Update History". Then expand whatever you're interested in.

Well I'm glad my smartass comment could be proven wrong, at least. But that is an unusual place to put that info. Never would have thought to look there.yellowmix wrote: ↑Wed Jan 16, 2019 5:15 amYeah, it's not where you would expect it to be, both/either on the product page itself or in "Manager Registered Plugins" right next to the download links.

And it's not even in the download manager app either.

I'm on your side about marketing tactics like not showing price etc. But I did demo them until the full extent (e.g. Last day of trial/sale end). I'm not saying I had no regrets buying some plugs there, but that's not exclusive to them either. I still think their stuff is in the top tier after using fur months.yellowmix wrote: ↑Wed Jan 16, 2019 5:08 amHow long did you demo them for before buying?

And no, would not buy at normal price. That's their model. Similar to waves, you can only buy them at several sales a year Or second hand, where I got probably half of their stuff after demoing first of course.

Thanks, I checked my account and they showed up for me as well. However, the terms above it have not changed. So while it seems affected licenses are grandfathered in, it's still unclear if the policy applies to new purchases/transfers.

Yes, I recall that. So we don't know if these items were moved to be transferable automatically or manually but it's a good sign. We don't know if that change is linked to their ability to change the text but as the text hasn't I believe it is still unresolved. I trust their statement to you was made in good faith but I'm still in wait-and-see mode. I will only change my position if the text changes, as everyone needs to believe it for anyone to be able to second-hand sell a license at an unencumbered price.

Actually the second hand market for PA is dead. Look at feedback thread, virtually nothing is bought although their products are offered in masses...

Maybe if we follow the sales on the feedback thread we can just ask a recent buyer if his license is transferable or not.
