LICENSE RENEWALS
There are a number of themes, plugins and applications that have an annual license renewal fee.
If your website is hosted on our high performance servers, or is managed and supported by us, we cover the cost of these licenses. We are able to do this because for many of them we have a special developer rate or have negotiated a single one off payment which is significantly higher than the normal annual renewal.
If your website has any of the following plugins and applications, we will cover the renewal cost with the license arrangements we have negotiated. Websites designed and build by us have theses licenses.
If your website is hosted with another hosting company, at this time we are unable to extend our licenses to cover it.
Do not pay the renewals but advise us so that we can include your website under our licenses.
