I renewed.
I got an email from them this morning.
Here is what the email said for the July updates:
It's hard to believe, but Army Builder is 15 years old this summer! To celebrate the occasion, we've been taking a close look at the feedback you've been giving us, and are pleased to announce some changes that we think will be welcomed by everyone. Read on to find out more!
In recognition of Army Builder's 15th birthday, we're streamlining and simplifying how licenses work by retiring Army Builder’s license renewal mechanism. Starting on August 1st, active Army Builder licenses will no longer require yearly extensions to access program and data file updates for Army Builder 3. As of that date, all Army Builder 3 licenses that have not yet expired will forever more remain "active" and never expire.
All new licenses purchased henceforth will never expire. All existing licenses that are active on August 1st, 2013, will similarly never expire. Army Builder licenses that are expired on August 1st can be renewed to that date and will thereafter never expire. All future updates to Army Builder 3 will be free to all users with unexpired licenses. In other words, everything just became a lot simpler!
We hope these changes will let even more people enjoy Army Builder than before, including the upcoming "Army Builder Roster Viewer for iPad and iPhone", which you can read all about in our May newsletter. We're putting the finishing touches on the roster viewer now, and we anticipate this great free tool becoming available in August, assuming approval on the app store goes quickly! If you don't have an iPad or iPhone, or if you'd just like to see it in person, come see us at Gen Con this month and we'll be happy to show it off!
Finally, we'd like to thank the thousands of loyal Army Builder users who have been actively supporting us by renewing their licenses every year. For all of you who have previously extended or renewed your Army Builder license, if your license is active as of August 1st we'll be providing a credit for all remaining time on the license. Once our new online purchase system is up and running (currently in development and planned for this fall), users with non-expired licenses will be given pro-rated credit on our online store for the time remaining on their license. We'll let you know via email and this newsletter once we have the mechanisms in place to make this happen, so keep an eye out for a communication from us.
For those of you that have been with us since the original release of Army Builder in 1998, and to everyone who's joined us since then, we salute you! Here's to another 15 years of miniature mayhem - roll on 2028!
- The Army Builder team
