They provide a good service at a reasonable cost, they keep track of my orders and transactions, and their service integrates beautifully with my website. I've seen no other service that compares. While the limited number of downloads may be seen as a drawback, the upswing is that I do not demand a new purchase for major revisions. You have Lightroom 2, and will be paying for the upgrade to Lightroom 3 when it releases. Well, if you have TTG Highslide Gallery Pro 1.x and your subscription has not expired, you will not have to pay to download TTG Highslide Gallery Pro 2.0 (coming soon). Also, any time I post an update, I also publish the full changelog so that users may decide for themselves whether or not the update is worth making, depending on whether or not the updates or fixes relate to their use of the engine. Sometimes I even say, "If you're not having problem X and don't use feature Y, then you don't need this update." I understand your concerns, but I have no plans to move away from E-Junkie.

Thaler Thu, 25 Feb 2010 05:37:13 +0000 http://lightroom.theturninggate.net/?p=1684#comment-7498 I would like to see updates time limited rather than number of downloads. If your download service can't accommodate that, perhaps there is one that will. When I product is maturing, I don't want to 'spend' my downloads on bug fixes and don't want to be penalized for being and early adopter.

I also appreciate the once licence per owned domain clarification as I was wondering because I will probably have to do a site for a friend. This is quite correct and the way to go. Nice as is then.
