On the other hand; when you’ve got to pay to use a product, you’re a bit more entitled to its use and support than a free project that gets worked on at the devs leisure. Especially when the developers maintain that same view.
It’s a fine line between securing stable income for your efforts while not limiting the usage of your products. I think Embys developers have done a pretty good job keeping that balance. I’ve certainly never had an issue with the activation and use of premium features, and the licence I bought 7 years ago has held excellent value. I’ve just been waiting on some funds to donate ontop as I feel I’ve gotten more than I’ve paid for.
