No.With Packet Ripper, when you acquire a license, you'll receive the latest version along with one year of support and upgrades. During this active support period, you can use any versions of Packet Ripper that were released. However, after your license expires, new Packet Ripper versions will no longer be compatible with your existing license. For instance, if you obtained a license during version 2.4's launch, you can utilize Packet Ripper 2.4, 3.0, and 3.1, including any development builds released during that 1 year period. However, if Packet Ripper 3.2 is released beyond your one-year support period, you'll need to renew your license or purchase a new one to access it. Please keep in mind that active support includes installer downloads, and we only maintain the latest installers for download.
Our licensing approach distinguishes between commercial and non-commercial (personal) usage, allowing us to offer affordable options for students and hobbyists while sustaining the development of our niche market product. So, what constitutes commercial use? If your primary use of the product is for profit, it falls under the commercial category. For instance, using Packet Ripper on your work computer may not necessarily be considered commercial use. However, if you're using it as part of your job while at work, it likely qualifies as commercial use. if you're not sure whether your use qualifies as commercial or non-commercial, contact us and ask.
As your Packet Ripper support period approaches its conclusion within 30 days, an email will be sent to remind you with a convenient renewal link. A second email notification will follow when you're just five days away from the support period ending. Additionally, if you're online and haven't disabled online activity, you'll also receive a visual notification via a small icon in the status bar within Packet Ripper itself. Renewal options remain open for roughly a month after your support period concludes. However, should you miss this renewal window, your license won't be eligible for further renewal, necessitating the purchase of a new license to resume support.
