All versions of eM Client up to v8 have been free till now, v9 is no longer free. Will those wanting to stay with their free license version be able to or will they eventually be forced to upgrade to the pay versions or look for another freeware?
If you use eM Client for personal use with a free (non company business) email address, then the same free personal license still works with V9 too.
Are you getting a message about V9 license activation not working ?
Can you elaborate on the problem with any error messages you get when you upgrade to V9.
Thank you for your reply.
I received nothing from the actual program just an email like many received promoting v9. But unlike other email promos from the past version updates this time I didn’t see an option for a free version.
Why wouldn’t a free version still being available have been mentioned?
Backup your current version via “Menu / Backup” Then once backed up close eM Client, and then d/l new version 9.0.1708 released officially and install. Them reopen the program.
Normally though you get auto update within the program.

Thanks again for all the info!
BTW…do I de-activate the free license on v8 before updating to v9 or just click update?

Don’t need to deactivate V8 before upgrading to V9 on the same computer. Just update.
Many thanks for your help cyberzork…is there a read email counter, I see the unread counter beside folders?
I recently downloaded V9.22258 for personal use with a free non company/business email address. Will this continue to be free or will it prompt me to upgrade to pro
after 30 days. If so, what will I need to do to stay with the version I now have?

Yes if you use eM Client for personal use with a free (non company business) email address, then the same free personal license still works with V9 too.
Just check your free personal use license is still activated. Go to “Menu / Help / Licence” and it will say free down the bottom with a deactivate button as in this example below.
It does say “free”. Thanks that is helpful.
So are you saying it will continue to be free, as long as it is left as is?
Will I get a prompt after 30 days to buy pro version and do I need to do anything then?
When would the deactivate or close button be used?

Yes it will then continue to be free as per your free license, and you won’t get a prompt to buy it.
Thanks! Good to know.
