What happened to the cPanel owned licenses? Did cPanel do away with it and opt to ONLY do 1,2,3 year leased licenses?

Does anyone know?

:confused:

They stopped selling them on July 11th. Here's a link the the official blog post (link) (http://blog.cpanel.net/?p=63)

As of today, July 11, 2008, cPanel will no longer be offering One Time Licenses. These licenses are not currently inline with the way we deliver our products and do not allow us to provide the same high level of service to our customers that our other license models do. We apologize for the lack of notice however, providing notice would simply allow for more One Time Licenses to be sold which is the opposite intention of this action. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

All, i have to say is... crap. Just saved up enough money to buy it and this happens.

They were planning to 'reinforce' the annual maintenance fee anyway, making the one-time license hardly attractive anymore.
