UNRAID License and Pricing Model Changes – How the New Subscription Model Will Impact You

Unraid users uncovered code about the shift from a one-time purchase to a subscription-based model recently. With my own history of utilizing Unraid since 2016, I offer a unique perspective on the community’s response, particularly the initial uproar on Reddit, as we explore the company’s…

As a current Plus user, i am glad that i have bough it as i really enjoy it. The main benefits of Unraid is the simplicity of the storage where you have a standard filesystem on your storage drive and just add a parity drive.
But as someone working in Cybersecurity, i hope they are going to succeed and be able to keep up the security update on a good basis. Last thing i want is a NAS full of CVE.
thanks for your take. its making considering getting a second license so i have a second grandfathered key for my future server plan. This mostly seems like a non-issue for all current users who have already bought a license. I'm very happy with my unraid setup and can't wait for 7.0 and not having to be forced to make a traditional array now only if they can do away with the usb stick. I've had bad luck with them in the past few months, one failed and then two months later my replacement failed.
glad i never tried unraid
If it was a subscription based service I would have never started on unraid. That was the reason I didn't mind spending the money for the operating system. That and the fact I could actually use it fully during the trial. I ended up buying 3 with a plan for atleast 2 more for personal use as well as several family members / friends looking into it. They won't go for the subscription model either. Will have to see what they do.
I would pay $200 for unraid lifetime in a heartbeat for a primary or secondary server. I'd probably pay $300 but I'd need to budget it. If I'm spinning up a more focused use case, that would hurt, where the $129 I could eat without too much complaining. They need a recurring revenue stream but not a subscription model. I think this strikes a nice compromise as long as lifetime doesn't triple or more in price.
Checking in for some DS + Unraid love
I'm still not sure why someone would intentionally buy unraid when truenas scale exists.
Nice video Thanks for sharing it with us!đđđJP
Why use unraid instead of truenas? Also, subscription model doesn't work. Why follow ms and ibm into the void?
HAHA, yeah D&D really dropped the ball on season 8 of "centOS". If we are talking about more expert features, I think seeing things like clustering, fiberchannel support, better support for faster network compatibility(RDMA, etc), and VM migration would be worth the cost.
