Home Forums Discussions Problems Paying $500 anytime you get a new server????

I DO NOT recommend following that post by Koby where he references ITFACTOR.

What ITFACTOR did was a hack. Here are the issues:

1. You get your IT person to do this hack for you and then, one day, you need help, and your IT person is gone.
2. You do the hack yourself following those instructions. One day, something breaks but you are nowhere near my level. You have to call AC support. Do you tell them about the stunt you pulled a year ago to get out of $500? Or do you keep it to yourself and hope they can just find the problem and fix it? Will withholding that information cause AC support to take longer to find the issue which means more downtime for you? When AC does figure out what happened, will that alone expose you and you'll still have to pay the $500?
3. Are you breaking a part of the AC licensing agreement by doing that hack?

Upgrading AC is something many of you do once every few years (this one upgrade being the exception, not the rule). The $500 fee, while certainly annoying, is not exorbitant and not even close to what others charge for the same thing.

Pay the $500 and move on.
