One Time License Update
As of today, July 11, 2008, cPanel will no longer be offering One Time Licenses. These licenses are not currently inline with the way we deliver our products and do not allow us to provide the same high level of service to our customers that our other license models do. We apologize for the lack of notice however, providing notice would simply allow for more One Time Licenses to be sold which is the opposite intention of this action. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause

Final bit:
Looks like all proprietary Control Panels are hiking up the prices big time. Recently “Parallels” (Earlier known as SwSoft) increased the prices for their Virtuzzo licenses. Looks like an effect of “Global
economic condition”.

I don’t have a problem with cpanel stopping one time license as i rent cpanel from data centers. This help cpanel as the data center provide support for the client.
Parallels is buying most of the popular products like Helm, Modern Bill this will allow them to set higher price if they don’t have solid competition.
