Subscription model?

Video AI General
1

I recently processed a video only to see a big, fat, TopazLabs company logo watermark in the middle of every frame. I guess I didn’t realize that TopazLabs switched to a paid subscription model, even for the versions of the product that was already purchased. I thought I purchased the software for unlimited use!

Now I’m wondering what my options are. Am I forced to extend my subscription for another year? If I do that, would downloading the AI models to my local device allow me to use the software without any limitations? Am I forced to pay about $90, every year? Can I just buy a version of the software, without limitations?

Julian Maier (@nmkd) doesn’t require any kind of subscription for his FlowFrames software. Why doesn’t TopazLabs offer a once-and-done payment option for a version of their software?

It is not a subscription based license. the annual renewal license is for the upgrade protection.
you probably been logged off from the tool for some reason or you are trying to use a higher version of the tool that is past your 1 year upgrade protection. just re-login with your account credentials in the tool and you should be fine.

Hmm… perhaps something got messed up with my internet configuration that caused the software to not register with my account. It didn’t look like I was logged off. I didn’t see the “Trial Mode” icon.
