I have purcahsed Lifetime before why I need to subscribe to create a website

Hello John,

Sure, you have a lifetime license with premium features for the Desktop Application, WordPress Plugin, and Joomla Extension. Each license includes one year of free updates.

Your update period ended on February 5, 2026.
This means you may continue using your licensed version (or any previously released version) before the end of updates period for a lifetime without interruption.

If you choose to update to a newer version after the free update period, an active update extension will be required. Otherwise, your account will switch to the Free plan with limited premium features. Online services will operate under the Free Starter Plan conditions.
Now, if you want to activate your licensed version you will need to downgrade your app from version 8.3 and import project backups. Additionally, you may choose to disable app auto update in your Preferences. Open your app dashboard >> top right corner account icon.

You can’t go past the last version here.

Make sure you have backup of Project files and Documents\Nicepage folder before you start reinstalling other versions.
And never update a site with a later Free version since you might not be able to open it later if you downgrade to an earlier version.
