True. So true. Starting with codenameone ending with quasar framework. That’s how it works
Well I have to say, for the people lining up, I cannot see the end of the line…
Oh wait. I can’t even see the line 
Disappointed as well. I was waiting for this event to renew my license, but it looks like I can wait longer finally.
In the past years, they did 20% off at least once per year, it was not “huge sale” announced by advance.
Well, their usual discount was 20% so, I guess 30% is a lot for them but yes, with all the fuss they made I was expecting a 50%…
They really are experts on creating big expectations and disapointing.
I was expecting them to increase the price by 30%, but offer a 30% discount.

What can I say ?
huge isnt how I’d describe something just barely more than their usual Black Friday, Pi day, etc sales that are 20%
Indeed
HA !

The trick is not to take the bait, but wait 3.5 months + the next release, and then the discount is irrelevant. However, I’m only doing desktop stuff, so 2023r4 is still working fine. I will wait for any required fixes for the next macOS release, and/or stuff I can use (e.g. preemptive threading, WinFx-based (?) controls, etc.).
Black Friday isnt that far off 
Still mostly using 2023r1.1
EXCEPT for ONE iOS project in 2024 since Apple insisted on the new SDK so it wasnt optional to update. THAT was not a fun thing to have to do since it was as close to a rewrite without rewriting it as I could possibly get. Mix & match API 1 and API 2 was NOT possible as it would just crash when compiling or immediately when starting a debug run
My license will end on next November. I have two choices: renew now or wait until November (I want to stay current). Since no one knows in advance when they’ll make later discounts, I’d be tempted to renew with the 30% discount of now, but would that mean I’ll have 3 overlapping months?
The rules are confusing.
Counts from day you buy … Exact my humor
Interestingly I heard a Xojo advert on the Connected podcast on Relay.fm (quite a popular tech podcast). I’ve never heard a Xojo advert on a podcast before. The podcast is an Apple tech podcast so it seemed like a good fit.
Perhaps the new marketing hire is trying to change things up a little? Seems like a good idea.

Ask them, but as a renewal it it should add another year to the end of of your current license.

My Understanding is when you renew a licence, it starts the day you current one ends… so If you have one the expires in November, there is no penalty for buy now…
Well the penaly being its Xojo I guess

If you renew the license, it will add 1 year (or 2 year) to the expiration.
Go to your licenses, click renew, select the one you want to renew and click the ‘renew - 1 year’ or ‘renew - 2 years’, you should see the discount price before paying.
I once got Xojo for $20. 
It was a bundle i think.
Wow, they just changed the " True multi-core threads" milestone to Xojo 2024r3…
Just annother Fucked up timing. If this is functional, they should had the Big Sale after 2024r3 was shipped (and tested by end users)
