Nice new look and a much better name. These kinds of transitions can be scary, but at least it seems more of a rebranding than a buyout / sellout scenario.

However, for myself and some of my colleagues who are long-time iTsec Pro users with Lifetime licenses and using it on the hundreds of sites we manage, there are some concerns.

For examples:

Those of us that manage a large number of WP client site’s security with iTsec Pro and basically keep the client out of the picture by sequestering access to only us and not the client – how will this affect us? Will our clients see an alarming change? Will we suddenly have to make major changes to the large number of sites under our license?

Those of us that use a separate product for multiple site update management, such as MainWP Pro, running alongside iTsec Pro, does this mean the potential for the two separate plugins to “argue” with each other and generate code conflicts? Will it generate new upsell popups and notices in the WP Admin that will be visible to our clients?

And one really big concern – “The company is not planning to increase prices on its products at this time but Cromwell said they reserve the right to adjust pricing as needed” – what exactly does this mean for Lifetime Unlimited iThemes Security Pro license holders who have already paid for the product for life? Is this a potential to edge us out of our lifetime unlimited license?

I’d love to be able to join the live Webinar on April 11th to ask such questions, but like many of my colleagues I will be working the enormous amount of support tickets and inquiries that occur for us right on the heels of every holiday, and of course the Webinar for this is just 48~ hours after Easter Sunday.

Looking forward to seeing what updates appear here and on the iThemes / SolidWP website as well. I’m really hoping other iTsec Pro license holders bring questions forth such as above.
