X-Cart forums

I have some dev stores running x-cart 5.4.0.x with free license, and can't upgrade to 5.4.1.x. I get a message "
Renew your access to upgrades to get new and enhanced features coming with the latest release.
X-Cart Business license (expired on Jun 29, 2020)" And I don't see anything on "free license" on X-cart website.



Does this mean there is no longer free license for X-cart 5.4.1.x? At least we can continue to use 5.4.0.x for online sales? (Although I have a production store in 5.2, I have no production store in 5.4, so I am not sure if with current free license I can actually start selling products..).

I believe there is still free license and you can use it. But I think you can't upgrade it once installed. Which sort of doesn't make sense since you can still install the latest 5.4.x and use it for free. It may just be a way to sort of force you to paid for the license... not sure.

I can't upgrade to 5.40 - looking at wordpress- much more ecommerce options.

Tired of getting abused - the cart tanked my server and tanked my google rankings. The amount of datacache is crazy. I tried for 6 years on several servers.

They dont get it - its the same story - upgrades are a struggle.

Now I am tired of it all. Its the year 2020 - I had better carts in 1999- better in terms of getting google to rank my sights.

Alex Dyachkov- you should get yourself a middle of the road server and try to upgrade from 5.3.6.6 to 5.4.1.6 - That hook tech you guys use is too much - in everyway.

Wordpress upgrades by itself - I dont even have to mess with upgades - try being like wordpress.

Skip The Dishes is based on wordpress - go figure- I did. If its good enough for Don Draper - well its good enough for me.

See post #2 above. However it looks like at some point recently XC removed the free license altogether.

Just been nearly mugged after running the updates - how much $$$$ to get the updates, day light robbery!
Got four shops that dont make as much, now got four shops to move on
Been using xcart since the early days and this is shocking
