Hi all,
Let's take a closer look at CuteSoft IP license definition to avoid confusion. 1 IP license locks to 1 IP@ and it's good for all the domains hosted on this IP@ permanently. If the license owner is not sure of the production IP at the time of purchase, we issue 1 3-month temp license to cover the transitional period. In some cases,, the grace period can be extended to 6 months. Then the license owner is required to register the IP@ to make their permanent license file. Once the permannet license file has been issued, there is no free IP change. We do have a fee schedule per product. Basically the longer the product has been running with the permannet license file, the more fee there is to change IP. Reason behind this is to pay off our developers' hard work who are the driving force behind product improvements.
All our product fees are one time charge, there is no montly/yearly fees of any sort. I listed our fee schedule on the bottom of this reply for your reference. As long as the IP@ stays unchanged, the registered IP license is good for ever. If you ever loss the binary license file, we re-issue the file free of charge upon request.
There are customers who don't have control over their IP@ and they can be forced to move server by their ISPs. For those customers, we highly recommend non-IP-related license options, ie Domain, Small Business... Enterprise license etc to protect themselves from IP change down the road.
In unfortunate situations where IP license owners have to change their IP@, please contact
Karen@CuteSoft.net, we will look at your situation case by case. Don't forget, we are a group of developers just like yourself. We don't want to choke anyone's business in this economy winter. On the other hand, there is always a cost issuing a new IP license. CuteSoft.net is a place developers help each other out. Again, we appreciate your business big or small. Drop us a line and we are always here to listen.
FYI, CuteChat/CuteWebMessenger fee schedule

CuteChat and CuteWebMessenger are based on same set of software so install once and get both running. However the 2 of them are on different license files. Buying one license doesn't enable the other.

One time charge. No monthly/yearly fee. No limitation on number of chatters or chat rooms. Minor version free upgrade, major will incur a cost. For example v3 is $199 and now v4 is $299 domain license, upgrade from v3 to v4 is $149. We don't host CuteChat/CuteWebMessenger. What you purchase is a binary license to unlock the product from expiration.
