After the all the new updates, I wanted to give it another try and renewed my license, but it is not what I was expecting. I need help sorting out my account and which licenses I actually need and do not need. Please advise:<\/p>\n<p>BACKGROUND: I run a school website with a complicated activities calendar that needs to import many different sports calendars. I NEED these calendars to SYNC with the origin calendar to reflect time and venue changes, cancelations, etc.. My experiences with ical importer have not been kind to me: some changes to the origin calendar are seen, some duplicated, some not seen. Also, often bizarre and unexpected information is imported and events need to be either all deleted or edited. Editing takes far too much time. Deletion causes its own set of problems since the ical importer then does not re-import the calendar without a lot of scary code\/file workarounds which I am not entirely comfortable with.<\/p>\n<p>Calendar site is http:\/\/www.mayerlutheran.org\/events\/list\/<\/p>\n<p>Will the new updates help me? Exports from the origin calendar are available in several different formats.<\/p>\n<p>I also have confusion on whether I require Events PRO, iCal importer OR Event Aggregator &#8212; or some combination. Please help. Thanks in advance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1180725","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Renewed iCal importer license but am confused about Aggregator -<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/theeventscalendar.com\/support\/forums\/topic\/renewed-ical-importer-license-but-am-confused-about-aggregator\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Renewed iCal importer license but am confused about Aggregator -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"I have never been able to get The Events Calendar iCal importer to play nice with the feeds i have access to and let my license lapse.
