Summary

A user warns about FileZilla Pro's "perpetual license" issues, describing how after reinstalling their operating system, they were unable to download the installer they had already paid for. The article exposes that despite having a perpetual license on paper, the practical inability to download the software renders the license useless, highlighting deceptive licensing practices in software distribution.

Key quotes

· 3 pulled
I bought FileZilla Pro under a perpetual license - a one-time payment, lifetime right to use the version I purchased.
If a customer cannot download the installer, the 'perpetual license' is dead.
It doesn't matter what rights they acknowledge on paper - they are blocking any practical way to use the software.
