Blue Iris Extended Support and Maintenance Subscription info
- Thread starter eeeeesh
- Start date
As long as you don't do a software upgrade after your maintenance agreement expires you'll be good.
Mine expired last week. I'll wait 6 months to a year before renewing my maintenance/support. It's only 29.99 a year.

It’s $29.95 plus taxes for the auto renewal option else it’s $34.95 plus taxes for a one off annual renewal.
I’ve been looking as mine also runs out at the end of this month.

My 2 cents. Don't you think the developer deserves the $30 per YEAR for all the ongoing work he does on the software?
I mean, that's $2.50 per month.

Blue iris 4 has not seen an update since the release of bi5 one year ago. I just tested the links on the Blue Iris website they work

Just go to the main BI website, the support options are available from there.
Um let's see - two big improvements from V4 to B5 include the ability to use substreams and DeepStack AI, and dozens of other improvements. Those two alone are worth the price of the new version. CoreTemp is only telling you about the processor temp and stuff, not actual improvements to the program, so go smoke that in your pipeOnly if I could really see any differences and I can't. (free CoreTemp software) does not show any improvement/difference from BI4 to BI5. Only difference noticeable, overlay included now in recording and snapshots. The promised (hyped?) improvements from BI4 to BI5, I can't find them. This on my i9 desktop nor on my Alienware i9 laptop nor on my new i7 2in1 Dell.
All running win11.
2in1 is running BI4 but I installed BI5 (demo) just to see if it would make a difference. None, same numbers in CoreTemp.
I am not negative on the software, obviously since I am using it for years and have BI4 and BI5 licenses but somehow I noticed the updates in BI5 are more like patches to correct problems that the software has and where only discovered by feedback from the software to the developer. (Some people may call it also spyware since the software is analysing your usage and data and reports it back). Now smoke that in your pipe.
Sorry

How would using a utility that measure the temperature of CPU cores tell you what changes have been made to a piece of software?
I am normally very polite and never rude but what a load of bull crap! You need to re-evaluate how you evaluate stuff.
At the end of the day the decision is your and yours only to make if upgrading is going to be worth your while.

I just realized it had been almost two years since he last posted in this thread.
Yeh, stop feeding the dipshit troll.

Nope, $30 directly through BI is a bargain.
For us, 30 per year for extended support, upgrades and supporting a developer who pushes innovative updates on a very frequent basis is worth more than what those who pay and sit in line at the drive through at Starbucks.
Sorry, I know this thread is old, but didn't want to create a new one just for this.
My sub expired a few weeks ago.. would I be able to purchase the extend subs or will I have to buy the full thing all over again?

Thanks wittaj, so what happens if a person buys one of the extended subs but never has purchased BI before.. do they even get that option?
