The best way to test that is with a local copy of oxwall and offline. See if installing it with a valid key is possible.

Yes first time you must klick on reset buton to install plugin. But that is happening if oxwall close the store! I dont now!
Should mean, we lose everything we have paid for, or license requirement disappears in oxwall!

As long as the domain has the same IP you can install it on multiple domains. In other words for example if you have your own server and the shared ip for that server is 123.456.789.000 and you have site1.com and site2.com that both share the same ip of 123.456.789.000 then you are fine and no reset is required.
However if you try to install the plugin on another shared IP 123.456.789.111 then i believe it gives you a warning that the plugin is not authorized on that IP and you must use the reset button. Once the reset button is used, the next time you run the plugin it will use that IP where the plugin is installed as the new authorized IP.
This prevents anyone from buying one copy and using it in many places outside the authorized IP.
Worst case - I am not 100% on what would happen if the store went dark, but i suspect if it did then no plugins would work because as soon as the admin area loads i assume it would check the keys and see that no validation is possible and fail. So IF that is true then no plugins would function and everyone would lose everything they purchased.
I hope this is not the case but we really will not know for sure until the moment the store goes dark, IF that should happen. Because we really do not know what coding is on the store side of things in order to check the full process.

At this time what may or may not happen is just speculation. But since skadate uses oxwall store, I do not see oxwall store closing any time soon. Unless skalfa is planning on sunsetting both oxwall and skadate.

Unless skalfa is planning on sunsetting both oxwall and skadate.Since noone has heard from either in a long time i would not be surprised if the whole thing imploded. However i do agree this would be a huge downfall and is unlikely to happen. It is always better to be prepared just in case as noone ever expected them to walk away from Oxwall as they did so who knows what will happen next month. But whatever does happen im sure someone will come up with something to keep things going.

Strange, it is possible that Ross updated the store before he left. I had 4 sites at one time all on the same IP and running the same plugin under the same oxwall account for all. I do remember another conversation awhile back about this so it is possible Ross made a change before things went south.

Back up everything on the server, both database, home and mail.
No, in this situation, we can not trust this sinking ship.

How do we know owengine isn't this original Oxwall team trying to milk more money from us via scare tactics?

I believe the license validator is performed via each plugins key and the developer key included. These variables connect to check if its premium or not, and if it is, it asks for validation. I'm only theorizing that's how the store does that function, and if it is, then that means Oxwall being down would simply return something like "Error connecting to Store" or "Error validating license."

edward you really think you will get free plugins and software forever and they work free for you forever...come down to earth....nobody working free...you are the test pilot now and they happy because that is hard work to test plugins and core and you get a bill later from then when the site have been up for 1 year the plugins they remake will cost money i promise you that...
i could support them if they was open but they acting like we should belive it is not old oxwall team and i not like that
