Unraid Moves to Annual Subscription Pricing Model (www.servethehome.com)

Unraid is switching to annual subscription pricing, offering Starter, Unleashed, and Lifetime licenses with optional extension fees for updates.
Existing Basic, Plus, and Pro licenses can be upgraded to higher levels of perpetual licenses.
This change may increase revenue for Lime Technology but could also make other NAS providers more appealing to users.

"Now announcing UnRAID 2, UnRAID original will no longer receive updates as we focus our resources on UnRAID 2."

And "UnRAID 2" will only have a subscription model, and people will the OG lifetime license won't be grandfathered into the new license.

Like Adobe and Photoshop.

I'd say it'll happen before 2030.

But I may just be cynical at this point.

It might. I take the risk. At that point, storage cost will be lower, I'll just buy a bunch of 20TB drives and build a truenas NAS. In the meantime, I'm satisfied with unraid as I don't have to spend 2k+ to get 50TB of usable space.
