Hey phpFox Family,

First and foremost, we want to thank you for being with us on this journey. We know that many of you have invested time and effort in creating a digital space where people connect, share, and grow, and we’re grateful to have been a part of your journey. 

However, we want to announce some significant changes to phpFox Licensing. These changes enable us to provide a more flexible and high-value platform for building online communities.

Here are the details of what’s changing and how to take full advantage of it before these changes take effect.

1. What Changes?

Perpetual Ultimate License

• Current: Perpetual Ultimate License includes 3 Free Mobile Build Services. These services help you build your white-labeled mobile apps (Android/iOS) with our team.
• Change: From now on, Perpetual Ultimate License has only 1 Free Mobile Build Service for new purchases and license upgrades (Pro to Ultimate). Additional mobile builds will require a service fee after the first one is used.

Perpetual Ultimate License includes:

• One Mobile Build Service
• Lifetime Access to phpFox version 5 (Metafox) Web and Mobile Apps Source Code
• 12 months of Product Updates & Support with the initial purchase
• Option to renew annually for continued updates and support at 25% of the license price 

Renewal is optional, but highly recommended to stay current with platform updates, security patches, and technical support.

Effective Date

Changes to Perpetual Ultimate License will take effect from August 11, 2025

2. What Remains Unchanged?

Perpetual Ultimate License Bundle

There’s no change to the Ultimate License Bundle, so you’ll still receive 3 Free Mobile Build Services and full access to all premium apps, including ChatPlus, Live Streaming, and Story.

Our bundle remains the same. There’s no loss in benefits.
