We've decided that lifetime licenses are coming back (with 12 months of updates included, but license stays valid for older versions forever). Will be released once we get Avid and Resolve out of beta.

FWIW - I'm personally also a massive fan of perpetual/license licenses, and would love to bring this back, as I think it was a major drawcard for Jumper. Noting that a perpetual/lifetime license only gives you 1 year of updates, so if you want to keep updating after 1 year, you'll need to purchase an additional year of support - however it's optional. If you're happy with the current version of Jumper you have, you can keep using it forever if you stick with your current NLE and operating system (or there's no breaking changes).

I think in some small businesses (like most post houses), it's a lot easier to get a one-time license approved for purchase rather than an on-going subscription. This is the way Hedge works with all their products, and I think it's very appealing.

Generally speaking, a lot of people in the filmmaking & post production community are sick and tired of having so many subscriptions, and having so many apps go the subscription route - so I think having both a subscription and lifetime/perpetual license (with 1 year of updates) makes so much sense.

My vote... bring it back!

We might make an exception for early adopters/beta testers, we can always create manual invoices
