Good evening Chris and welcome to the Events Calendar Support forum!
Thank you for reaching out to us.
I would love to help you with this topic.
This does not say that the product will cease to function after a year if the license is not renewed. Obviously should the WordPress CMS be updated and you need to release an update primarily so the product remains compatible, then the update will be necessary for the functionality to continue. But otherwise???
Please can you clarify, thanks.
That’s a good point.
The short answer is yes, the plugins will continue to function after the license has expired.
There are however a few things to know:
- We can’t guarantee compatibility with WordPress upgrades
- You will continue to be able to browse through our premium forums, but you will no longer be able to open new threads on it
- We can’t guarantee compatibility with upcoming versions of our free the Events Calendar plugin
In other words, the Events Calendar plugins always have to be at “matching versions” to work together.
So you’ll have to freeze the updates on the free Events Calendar plugin.
Let me know if that helps.
Have a great day!
Geoff B.
