Can I still use BeerSmith 2? You
can continue to use BeerSmith 2 in standalone mode and save recipes
locally to your hard drive, but you will not be able to save, share or
search cloud based recipes from within the old version after 1 March
2023. Only the cloud based features in BeerSmith 2 will be affected. We recommend that you either upgrade to BeerSmith 3 or copy your
cloud folder data to your My Recipes folder before that date, though you
can still view them from the web portal.
What are my Upgrade Options?
But I don't want a Subscription? While
our BeerSmith 3 gold, platinum and pro licenses start at just $14.95 a
year and include the complete web based recipe editor and free upgrades,
you can purchase a Basic BeerSmith 3 license which has no renewals at a fixed price if you choose. We are also offering 1, 2 and 3 year
gold+ license options now if you just want to pay for the desktop and web version for a few years and don't
want to use auto-renew.
Why are you closing BeerSmith 2 Cloud Access? The
original BeerSmith 2 platform was launched in 2011, and had relatively insecure
access to our server. The security situation has changed significantly
in the last 12 years, and the BeerSmith web sites face daily attacks.
The move to updated protocols is needed to secure user accounts
as well as protect the server. We intend to secure the server on 1
March, 2023. BeerSmith 3 users will not be affected.
Upgrade to BeerSmith 3 today!
The
discount I'm offering is the lowest price you will get on BeerSmith 3
and BeerSmith Web as a combined package. It is only available through
Feburary 7th. You will need your BeerSmith 2 code (from Help->Activate) to upgrade. For the Basic and Gold+ 1,2 and 3 year options we also now offer Venmo, Square and Google Pay checkout options. |
