That's a good point. No matter which way you look at it the user must pay for the maintenance and support of the software for the developer to stay in buisiness. By limiting the free update period the developer can lower the entry point price which financially benefits the user. With mergExt the user has the clear choice of purchasing 3 months of access or 1 year of access. The price is higher for the year but much cheaper per month. When the user logs in on mergExt.com they see how much time they have remaining and that they can get an extra 20% off if they buy more time before their current access ends. It's early days yet and still evolving but it is all seeming to work for both myself and the group of developers who have signed up to support the effort so far.
