If you want to have access, then download within the period.
Standard practice with software. (for better or worse.)

Check with Adobe, Microsoft, WooCommerce, etc, etc… (could make a very long list.)

Adam is right,
but only
if one values free products
much more than great products.

The communication about the changes were not good, not good at all…
…and that is a thing that is very hard, and is often only understood when one gets the experience of the consequences of poor communication in the public eye (which any time when there is a group that cares/are affected by what one says/not say…)

Personally, I believe that LifterLMS is the LMS-product in the WP space with most promise, and these changes are most likely necessary…if that means that some people are unhappy, then that is as always…the people trying to please everyone, rarely do anything of value…
However, if LifterLMS will not create a great product, then they are in trouble, but that would have been the case anyway.

I look forward to better communication from Chris at LifterLMS, and I think that is on the way.
I have followed this product closely since before it was released, and at times been quite critical, because of business model, and product design choices, because I saw the potential of creating the next generation of LMS…and this is likely a step that makes great things more likely.

Lastly, if someone is interested in creating really great trainings, then the automated payment/sign ups are probably not the way to go anyway…
No elite teams accept anyone wanting to join, even if they want to pay money…the are individually vetted…
Just a thought.

Neither old version, nor the GitHub version works on WP 4.0.
(The GitHub version crash. Fortunately, WP does not allow it to activate.)

Really sad, because it was a great plugin.
