Roon Unlimited Time License and Offline Functionality Inquiry (ref#MOWEA3)

But what will happen when your company stops its activity ?

In the context of Roon. See this post, the whole topic is about a 30 mins read…

What happens with the lifetime subscribers if the company folds or is sold?

Yah, I get it. So right now, the application obviously logs in to our cloud services, for both metadata and membership checking. In the unlikely event that we could not maintain those services, we would release one last build that would kill those dependencies, so you could continue to use the application without our infrastructure as a requirement. Obviously the functionality would be reduced, but it would work.

I’d say like any [lifetime] purchase it’s a gamble. If I was betting my house on it I’d like case iron guarantee, but for cost of Roon it’s really not worth spending too much time trying to weigh up the pros & cons.

Good luck with whichever path you take.
