The company behind the disk space analyzer TreeSize has irked some users by no longer offering support or updates for perpetual licenses beyond their maintenance period unless customers subscribe. Further frustration has come from JAM Software’s long-standing policy of not providing license keys or installers to TreeSize perpetual license holders after that support period ends.<\/p>\n

Since 2025, JAM Software has been\u00a0transitioning\u00a0most TreeSize editions<\/a> to subscription models. Today, it sells perpetual licenses only for personal use, which include 12 months of updates, support, and \u201cdownloads of older versions, and your license,\u201d plus the option to extend the support period. TreeSize currently has “no plans to discontinue the sale of perpetual licenses for TreeSize Personal,” product manager Hendrik Christ told Ars Technica.<\/p>\n
