Questions
When is a lifetime licence worth it?
When you'll use the product longer than the break-even point, and you trust the vendor to keep updating it. Most lifetime deals pay off in two to four years.
What's the risk?
A lifetime deal is only as good as the company behind it. If the product is sold or discontinued, updates can stop. Prefer established vendors.
What about renewal discounts?
Many vendors give 20 to 30% off renewals. Enter it here, because it moves the break-even point later.
