[Solved] Major problem with minor releases only available to commercial users

[john west]

Telerik, I've always been very impressed with your products, and have purchased different components in the past. I've been using MVC for a small site, and have been pleased. However, I just ran into a bug that your minor release fixes. I cannot believe that you won't allow non-commercial users to get access to these releases that fix bugs! I mean, you even call it a service pack! That's a significant release. Either you need to truly support "free" users, or require a license. Letting "free" users only access older, buggy versions is unacceptable.

Hello John,

Thank you for contacting us and for the feedback!

Indeed, the Telerik Extensions for ASP.NET MVC Open Source GPL license does not entitle you to receive Service Packs, it only gives you access to the Major Version Releases. For more info, please refer to our licensing FAQ.

In order for you to access the internal builds or service packs, you'll need to purchase a commercial license. For now we will continue to update the open source version only on major releases.

I hope this clears things up. If you have any additional questions, please let us know.

Regards,
Donna
the Telerik team
