Hi there, I have a question regarding the ability to use the Editor after the Bricks subscription has been cancelled.
In the FAQ it says “Once canceled, your license remains active until the end of your current billing period. After that the license status changes to “canceled” and you will no longer have access to updates, support, or our community templates.
But you can still edit your Bricks sites as before.”
I have seen conflicting posts on the internet about it.
After the subscription is no longer active, but the license keys are still “linked” on the websites, even if “canceled”, will I be able to make edits? I get that I won’t be able to update bricks with a cancelled subscription. But will I be locked out of the editor?
I don’t think it’s the same. Removing the key is like installing bricks without a license at all, which obviously shouldn’t work.
Instead, the key will remain in place, but the license subscription will not be active. As it says in the FAQ, the license doesn’t disappear, but has a changed status, which allows editing but not updates, changing domains, etc.
I’ve used Bricks on a couple of small websites, which won’t drastically change anytime soon design wise. At some point the client might want to remove a section, change a button text, etc. I have told them they will be able to do that when the year they paid for runs out and the only risk is security updates. With what it says in the FAQ, that should be possible even with a canceled subscription.
If you get completely locked out of the editor when you don’t renew, this changes things.
