QuickBox Pro?

Announcements
#80

I’m breaking my long silence here because I honestly find a large portion of the replies in this thread to be jaw-droppingly out of line.

JMSolo has stated that this is largely intended to be a commercial solution and you are getting private support included with the license. At the rates I charge, $35 for private support for an entire year would justify that price alone (in fact, there’s not a snowball’s chance in hell you’d ever see me offer a similar rate with no cap on the amount of support you could expect in return). Emails and tickets can be extremely time consuming to respond to – especially when answering in depth.

What I see lacking in this thread is a respect for his time. Jason has been working on this project for over a year and when it finally does come to light, you have the gall to tell him what his own time is worth to him? Shameful. I can tell you outright that behavior like this is what makes developers stop wanting to contribute their time to “free” and “open” community projects. These projects aren’t raking in mad dough, they are essentially hobbies that we have devoted large amounts of time to.

If you don’t think the price of the service is worth $35 a year, then don’t pay it and don’t receive the product. It’s a simple as that. If you don’t like it, then no one is stopping you from learning Linux, PHP and Bash to code your own solution and release it to the general public for free.

Or do you value your own time more than that of some internet stranger?

If you are a company (which I hope none of you are), then $35 a year is nothing.

If you are a single user, this is probably not the right product for you.

If you’re looking to share your server with some friends, ask them to split the cost of a license with you – I wouldn’t call it overly unreasonable.

If you find the burden of supplying a free slot to your buddies too much with the added cost of the management console, then ask them for compensation in return. Just don’t turn around and tell the dev that that’s his problem instead.

Thank you @liza, and good to hear from you :slight_smile:

Well said and much deserved.

I just want to give my opinion, I subscribed to this pro version because I share my server with some friends, I have unfortunately no very deep knowledge under linux, and I must say, that in terms of support, I was very well accompanied for the launch, I had a personalized support even for fairly basic questions.

I find, therefore, that the polemic on the price is not justified; to the extent that, the simple version is free for ages. We say in France “All job merits wages !!” Thank you for the support, courage for the future, and congratulations for the work.

So the subscrption was stopped “out of stock” ? I prepared my server to the pro version :slight_smile:

We are currently working to resolve an issue with our email system. QuickBox Pro will return to the marketplace once these underlying issues are resolved. Thank you everyone for your patience and the tremendous amount of support! Please be patient while we address a few things.

If given the option for monthly payments. :slight_smile:
because we are not as providers seedbox.
and what if it’s been a year but we don’t extend the license?

#87

I’m not sure to be honest @jmsolo would have the answer for that hopefully.

#88

i cant access the announcements about the update that will fix the issues with current version, it says im not allowed to view the topic?

#89

You do have access to the QuickBox Pro board @gjm . What error message are you getting ?

#90

Exactly! And good to hear from you @liza!

$40 is the cost of a few starbucks. this project is worth so much more.

The license affords you these things:

  1. 1 Year of hands-on support via Private IRC, Private Forum, and/or Private Ticketing. It’s essentially having priority support.
  2. 1 Year of updates.

Without a valid license, no updates will be received to your server and priority support ends.

Hopefully this answers you. :smiley:

Hello, when did we will be able to buy the Pro Version ? It’s out of stock

PS : There is an “Invalid Request” when i try to connect.

#93

I think it has to do with @BIF post above. I’m sure they’ll update us once the issue has been resolved.

#94

Hello, no news for 7 days now :frowning: , the log in is lagging and no news about the problem.

#95

News will come. Right now, the first round of QuickBox Pro users are helping to identify some underlying issues. Once there are some elements ironed out. It will be released once more, I am hoping this happens today.

I don’t know what this means…

hi. So I want to get quickbox Pro (when it is available), try a more complicated setup on a test server (one of the hetzner servers that can be cancelled for free in 14 days) and then move to a new server once I know how to do the setup. Can I use one licence for this since I will only ever be running quickbox pro on one machine at a time.

Planning to buy the quickbox pro script. Just wondering if it comes with guru install? Or is it a separate purchase?
