Tech Tool Store was officially released.

Licensing is not available yet, but the online help is.

I will be working in the licensing system for the next few days, and will tell here when it is ready.

I selected Firefox and clicked Install/Update and it installed the Nightly version. You might look into this and see what's up.

Jim,

That's because you selected Firefox 64-bit. The only 64-bit version of FF I know of is Nightly. I'll update the tool's name and tooltip to inform that. You need to install Firefox (32-bit) if you want to install the common version.

Just wanted to inform you guys that 7-day trial licenses are now available for those who want to test the fully working TTS.

Real licenses will be available in a few days.

Yea, I forgot Firefox is behind on their memory addressing. You would think after what, 39 major builds they would have addressed that by now. Also not sure why any update is a major build to them either.

What $$$USD are we looking at?
I use AUD, so just take the currency conversion into account.

Hey guys.


I for new licenses, it will be $30 USD, if including a 1-year license, $38 if including a 2-year license.

For license extending (renewal) it will be $10 for a 1-year extension, $18 for a 2-year extension.

So cheap you guys don't even need any discounts.

I'm OK with some subscriptions. This one is plenty fair, might be a lil cheap even.

My issue is when you have a product that is pay pay the version and you all of a sudden charge 3 times the pay by the version price per year.

Fred had not done that and I can't see him doing that to his people so I'm not worried about the subscription on this and will be handing over my $38 as soon as it's available.

Ill admit These prices are fair,
But I'd prefer to purchase a lifetime key at a higher bulk price then having to renew all the time.
My opinion only, prices are good just dislike the subscription business (even though im in it myself!)

A larger bulk payment is good for you and I but in order for developers, on the case Fred, to benefit long term, they have an interest in recurring revenue. Fred's asking price is fair in my opinion as long as he's happy with it and since he made the price I assume he is.

Not trying to say your wrong by any means wrc, I'm just saying add long as Fred's subscriptions are reasonable I will pay them gladly. I also make regular donations to him as well. I don't donate a lot by any means but I like to show Fred that I support his hard work.

Hi Guys,

I don’t care for subscriptions either and don’t use Tech tool store very often but will likely be buying a license to help support Fred. As far as pricing is concerned, it’s very fair. I’m very interested in what the premium version of UVK is going to bring to the table. :)

Do you mean premium UAK? I am pretty interested too. Would love to have a sneak preview of what it will bring to the table.

I don't like subscriptions either. Mostly because they give much more work to setup. But I learned the hard way that they are the best way to ensure the project will remain active and will pay for the work it will need in the future.

Tools like UVK and TTS need work constantly. We need to check and update the third party downloads, changes in the automation, remove tools that no longer exist and add new ones, etc.

But who will want to work in a project that no longer brings any benefits?

Anyway, I will add an option for purchasing a 5-year and a lifetime license.

Do what works best for you but keep it fair. I know you will keep it fair, you have been very good about that.

Personal note, I will not buy the lifetime license. I feel you deserve support for the work you do and a lifetime payment goes away quick.

I will pay you the subscription price.
