You have until November 30th to get lifetime updates on the Enterprise plan. Act now to get lifetime updates and 30% OFF.
Since the WordPress world first met Formidable Forms all those years ago, our highest level license has had one AMAZING perk - lifetime plugin updates. But our lifetime updates for new licenses are coming to an end. November 30th 2018 will be your last chance to get lifetime Enterprise updates on new licenses or upgrades.
You still have a few days left, so grab your Enterprise license and lock in this amazing benefit, forever! This means you will get updates for Formidable Forms and all the add-ons currently included in the Enterprise plan, even if you never renew again.
If you already have lifetime updates, please don't worry. These will not be going away. This change only applies to licenses purchased after November 30th 2018.
After this date, all new Enterprise licenses will include 12 months of support and updates, the same as our other plans. The Enterprise plan will continue to include all Enterprise add-ons, advanced form templates, pre-made style templates, and support for unlimited installs.
Why will lifetime updates no longer be offered?
Over time, we have found the current lifetime plan causes a lot of confusion and questions. We are making a big push right now to simplify purchasing, installation, licensing, updating, and support. The last Formidable release included in-plugin downloads for add-ons. The next version will get rid of all of the extra licenses for add-ons, and allow grandfathered users to download add-ons from the admin area.
We have a lot of simplification planned in the coming months, and this is one of the necessary steps.
How can a new user get lifetime updates?
If you don't yet have a Formidable Forms license, it's simple! When you purchase an Enterprise license before the deadline, your lifetime updates will be locked in!
As always, our 14-day money-back guarantee applies. If you're not sure if Formidable is the solution you need, you can buy now and use those 14 days to ensure you made the right choice - 100% risk free!
How can an existing user get lifetime updates?
If you currently have a license without lifetime updates, you can upgrade your license before the deadline to take advantage of this limited time deal.
Upgrades are automatically discounted at checkout to take into account the cost of your current license, and also extend your support to 12 months from today.
To upgrade your license, do the following:
- Login to the account where you originally purchased on formidableforms.com
- Go to your Account -> Licenses page.
- Click on the "View Upgrades" link under your license to see the upgrade options and pricing.
- Select the "Enterprise" option, and proceed through checkout.
It's as simple as that! Lifetime updates will automatically be added as long as you complete purchase before the deadline.

Hi Nathanael! This sounds like an amazing deal! I've been a long time grandfathered member of the Business license and advocate to all who would listen to me 🙂
Quick clarification question. You stated "This means you will get updates for Formidable Forms and all the add-ons currently included in the Enterprise plan, even if you never renew again."
Does this mean that if I would not require to pay any renewal fees ever again? Does this apply to the add-ons? Is support limited to 12 mos and would need to renew the support option? Also, does this include all future addons?
Thanks in advance for your prompt response.
Both the core plugin and the bundled plugins will get lifetime updates - but support is limited to 12 months.
Future add-ons are not included - you would need to renew to get access to these.
Since everything else is paid - why I will have to pay $399 in order to get access to one new add-on? Your explanation is convoluted. Basically you advocate that is fair to charge for one add-on $399.
Hi Luigi,
The renewal includes 12 months support for Formidable and ALL the add-ons - so its a lot of support we're offering. Also - it wouldn't just be a single add-on you'd be getting either - we'll be releasing quite a few in those 12 months.
We've tried offering products without support in the past and quickly discovered that it doesn't work.
We also know how much support the average Enterprise license needs - and this is what we need to charge for Formidable to remain a viable business.
Hello,
Great news for the lifetime updates for the plugin and all the actual addons. How one will have to proceed in 13 months from now if he wants to use a new add-on that’s not included now? Will have to pay $399.
That mean that in 13 months we can spend very easily an initial $299 now plus another $399, for a grand total of $698. And next year another $399. I don’t understand why you call it lifetime when is not.
Lifetime implies the life of the product. And this Enterprise bundle is a moving target. The Enterprise bundle lifetime should include the future addons.
Maybe Formidable Forms should consider that the lifetime users might be grandfathered for all the future add-ons and restrict their support for only one year.
I think this make nore sense.
Thanks,
Luigi
Hi Luigi,
I understand your point of View - but from our perspective, we have a team of developers working every day to build new add-ons, and our team need to be paid for their work.
If we gave new add-ons away for free to users who had not paid anything for years, then we would soon be in a position where the continued development of Formidable may be at risk.
Hi Nathanael,
Will the renewal price of the Enterprise bundle really be 399 per year? If I need support after a year, what will be the cost of that?
Also, what other add-ons that will not be included in the current Enterprise plan are in the pipeline?
Hi Michael,
Renewal will be $399 per year for support - but many of our Enterprise users do not need support after the first year.
All add-ons released while your support is active (The next 12 months) will be included - and beyond that date our development roadmap for add-ons isn't firmly set. It may change depending on user requests, so we don't like to mention anything too far ahead incase a change of plan causes some to be disappointed.
Hello Nathanael,
Ok, don't give the new ones away for free. Maybe charge for them, but not $399 🙂
I understand Formidables point of view on this. Customers get "existing" updates, not "new" add-ons. The new code does not need to be free 🙂
My 2 thoughts:
1) how does a customer know if an add-on is included? can you add "created date" to the add-ons?
2) like Luigi mentioned, if customer wanted only the 1 newly added add-on, don't charge $399 to get it? => Maybe there can be a way to include new add-ons besides starting over again (in price)?
thanks
