One-Time/Lifetime License & Renewals
Some traders elected a one-time payment or pay plan, and these will be maturing and completed over the coming weeks and months for those who bought back in time. Just as a reminder, the details are here for optional annual renewals to keep the lights on for cloud services, such as AWT, trading groups, and consumable ongoing overheads. Additionally, to provide upgrade assurance, support, and development services, and very cost-effective ways to cut costs for traders, it is necessary to implement annual maintenance.
- AFT8 will notify traders of pending renewals on the AFT desktop and via popup. This is only related to live trading/live prop firm performance account usage.
- AFT8 licenses not renewed will allow live trading uses but will not provide the full gamut of premium/ultimate features. Access to trading groups will also downgrade to free only, and no priority support or VIP level perks will be available.
- Upgrade Assurance Traders will not be protected from the upgrade for AFT9 when NT9 rolls out, ETA 2025, if not the first edition sooner. Upgrades without assurance are around 50% of the full ticket.
- AWT will cease to work in premium/ultimate mode after 1 year if it was bought as part of the ATS Ultimate/Premium combo, but it will be covered by the annual renewal.
- The annual renewal covers all current and future product access within the subscription period it was purchased, e.g., 1 year.
- There is no deadline to purchase an annual renewal, and traders can elect when and if to do this in their own time via their licensing or pricing page.
Optional Annual Renewal
- Renewal dates are from 1 year after the license start date.
- For pay plans with less than a 1-year period ending on the 12th month, the renewal is the same as a one-time purchase.
- For any pay plans that were longer than 12 months, the date is 2 months after the end of the pay plan.
- By popular demand, annual renewals can be purchased in subscriptions:
- Annual subscription
- 6-month subscription
- 3-month subscription
