@Patch said in Would Netgate reconsider reinstating home+lab license but as a subscription model?:
and electronic devices have a useful life of 3-5 years.
I disagree, useful life is how long it will do its job. My firewall can easily pass 5 years because my internet connection is unlikely to be increased. I don't really use the 1Gb I have. Support of old HW is another issue, but I find there is a sweet spot for grabbing whole systems full of spare parts.
Apple and others build in the life span so they can sell you another one. A FW should not be the same, I only upgrade/change when there is a need.
