Hello,
I recently donated for the donation edition because I felt I was in a position to make a contribution. I noticed that updates would only be received for 3 months.
When I was looking over the donation page, there is a box that lets you decrease/ increase the number of devices you can use. The minimum appears to be 3 and the maximum 5. However, since I am the only one using this program, is it possible to update it to only one device so that I can get an additional 5 months of updates?
This would have to be done for my account so this is actually a query towards the site manager/ admin.

So, looks like you can't change the number of devices to lower than the current number of licensed devices. I have three licenses in use, and can't go lower than that. Can you confirm how many activations you have registered below the extend section? The maximum is determined based on the current period. I can change it up to 26 devices since my period is set all the way to August 2021. The algorithm will take it down to one month for 26 devices if I wanted.

Only one device is registered/ activated for this edition.
I didn't donate to receive any extra benefit aside from automatic updates; I was using this program for a while and had the capacity to donate. I didn't realize that benefits like automatic updates would be contingent upon the donation amount.
The donation edition is quite odd in that it restricts updating. For $20 a year, you can have a year's worth of updates. But $20-50 would a full-priced software anyhow. So I don't understand the update system.
