The reason I put emphasis on the words "no strings attached" is because that's exactly what it used to say on the page - "no strings attached"

"Comus Thumbs Server License, unlimited domains per server, for the serious player. Just $395 per install, no strings attached, we just set you up, with your first 3 domains, and the rest is up to you."

from http://web.archive.org/web/200410092...mus_thumbs.php

Anyway, let's give Ed and Tony a chance to reply.

Personally, I think it's bullshit. You bought it at THAT GIVEN TIME and the rules then in use should apply to your license, PERIOD.

The archive org page I quoted was posted by Bill in this thread - http://www.askdamagex.com/showthread...server+license

I bought mine the year before that, back then nobody was thinking of selling their comus thumbs license as it was the new hot script around.

Anyway, I'm going to quit bumping this thread.

I will bump it for you then
Because it happens that I recently changed all my sites to ST5, and then accidentally found out that I couldn't transfer/sell my comus server license

ok heres an exact quote of what tony told me tonight:

alright.. well its quite simple really.. I never said it was transferable, I said you could use it to make as many sites as you like on your server.

hope this clears it a bit,

regards,

Ed

agree with kloot, cause i got the very same thingie then him,
untill now i can better grow sites with Comus than with ST but when i bought my Comus i there was nothing like that on the site ...

it´s only the bad taste in the mouth, like kloot said
i paid those days a high price for it,

for me it´s comparable to some content providers, one one the first content providers i bought content of, i heard later i simply can´t sell them to anyone else, if i imagine i would sell all adult, so how much would it be worth then without any scripts, without any content if everybody would do so..

untill now i even don´t think about sell my CT server license cause i love it, it´s only about the bad taste ... that a no string attached script ... got million of strings later when it´s known

same goes for most Trade Scripts when i bought my first TM3 there where no costs for server moves on the site ...
when i bought my first ATX ... there where no costs for server move on the site unless you don´t overuse it ...

i simply think when i bought a script the rules at the time i bought should apply to it, not the rules and strings which where attached later

You only say that cause it is convenient in this situation for ya, if the situation was the other way around then you would have been whining about how it unfair you have to pay blah.balh.blah. You actually own a server license Oil?

For the rants on there licenses, Tony will post when he comes out off bed.

Boneless

I don't think anyone around here is ranting or whining. Let's wait and see what Sixzeros says.

hmm.. i have a server license too. non-transferable huh... well, that sucks! not that I would want to transfer it! but i think i should have the choice to resell it at market value if i choose to, less a reasonable transfer fee of course!

Tony mentioned to me the other day that he's been having problems with people trying to undercut him and resell single domain licenses on their servers for $50 etc. it seems obvious to me that this is unfair and i don't think anybody would expect him to allow that, but reselling a domain license in the same form it was purchased is not the same thing and in my opinion should be allowed!

i too am interested to hear what Tony has to say on this!

I agree with you on the 1st observation (with the only difference that I was planning on selling my server license).

As to your 2nd remark, I of course agree that he shouldn't allow people to undercut him. However, I don't quite understand how a webmaster could undercut him by selling his server license. After selling the server license, the seller wouldn't be able anymore to ask for any domain licenses. Only the buyer or new owner who would be able to do so, and only this person would be in a position of trying to undercut him.

hey there xxxtreme! i'm not sure there is anything we're disagreeing on here at all mate. Tony's concern regarding being undercut (so far as i could tell) was with regards to people having server licenses trying to resell/sub-lease single domain licenses. a ridiculous notion really! :lol(1): what assholes to do that huh!

maybe this situation has just pissed Tony off and resulted in a knee jerk response, which perhaps with a second thought he'll reconsider.

personally, this is the first script i have ever seen impose this limitation. i'm quite surprised! by no means am i trying to insight a riot Tony, but if i had been looking to sell my license i would have a lot more to say.

What's a TGP?

on a lighter note, that avatar text is amusing!
