What license is required for Gold features in MMW 2027?
An MMW Gold 'v2027' license or 'Lifetime' license is needed to activate Gold functionality in MMW 2027.
Will MMW 2024.x users get upgrades to MMW 2027?
Our policy has always been that Gold license purchasers receive at least one year of updates. With that guideline in mind, all users who've purchased MMW 2024.x Gold after 1/1/2026 will receive free upgrades to MMW 2027 Gold. As to the logistics of this:
- Users who've purchased MMW 2024.x Gold between 1/1/2026 and the release of the first MMW 2027 Beta will receive an email with an MMW 2027 Gold license key soon after Beta testing begins.
- Users who purchase MMW 2024.x Gold after Beta testing begins will receive an MMW 2027 key automatically upon purchase.
- Users who've purchased MMW 5.x or 2024.x Gold licenses prior to 2026, will receive coupons for a discounted upgrade upon release of MediaMonkey 2027 final (contact the help desk if you require this sooner).
- MMW Lifetime Gold license holders will be able to use their license with MMW 2027 (don't need to upgrade their licenses)
How long does an MMW 2027 Gold license last?
MMW 2027 Gold licenses are not subscription licenses--they unlock Gold functionality perpetually for MMW 2027. Just as MMW 5.x licenses work perpetually on MMW 5.x; and MMW 2024 licenses will work perpetually on MMW 2024.x. (In contrast, a Lifetime license works for all past and future versions of MMW).
How long will MMW 2027 be supported?
Our policy has always been that Gold license purchasers receive at least one year of support updates with their purchase (although depending on when a purchase was made, users usually received 2+ years of updates). Our policy remains unchanged for MMW 2027.
Note: Once MMW 2027 is released, all efforts will be focused on the new version and earlier releases will no longer be officially supported. BUT, as in the past, when there have been major problems associated with the functionality of an earlier release (e.g. failed synchronization with a new iOS version), we'll sometimes update the unsupported version so that it can continue to be used. Such decisions are made on a case by case basis.
How much will MMW 2027 Gold licenses cost?
TBD, but it'll probably be more than MMW a 2024.x Gold License.
Thank you all for your continued support!
