Quick question on Fab license pricing

[JoSf]

Epic could have clarified a lot more initially so I can’t blame people. I actually bought one asset I knew I wanted anyway just to get it under the old license, only for it to be wholly unnecessary. Well, no harm done, I like the asset anyway despite its flaws.

For buyers:

@skfabby

The same Standard License usage rules apply to both Personal and Professional pricing tiers. They’re pricing tiers, not different license types, which is the key thing here.

@skfabby

Your eligibility for a particular license tier applies at the point that you purchase the product. So, if you buy something at the Standard - Personal tier and then your project is wildly successful (in which case, congrats!), you retain the use of that product at the Standard - Personal tier and can continue to use it in your projects. If your success catapulted you to the Professional tier, you would need to purchase the Standard - Professional tier next time you go buy other products.

In other words, if you buy the personal license while developing in a garage, you can keep that license in perpetuity even if you become Big Evil MegaCorp. There is no “trap door” once you hit over $100k revenue. I still do think there should be one more tier between personal and professional.

For plugin sellers:

@brifsttar

My main question with regards to plugins is the licence: in the Marketplace, it’s seat-based. Will that still be the case in Fab? It seems not, and that would be quite a big change.

@skfabby

@brifsttar Yes, it’s per-seat pricing still.

also as a tangential question will fab support CI/CD? so I can update a listing from a pipeline
