Why can’t we still buy 2.0 Lic?
I realize it’s all about 3.0 now which is fine. But there are almost no addons ready for 3.0. Developing a site in 3.0 is all but impossible if you need any addons at all and of course most sites need quite a few.
If I can’t get a new 2.0 lic. and there are no 3.0 addons that means effectivly that new EE development is dead for the indefinite future.
Months at least.
I have clients who can’t wait that long
I was wondering about that. Guess I will have to go that route.
Do wish there had been better communication with addon developers. A lot of them it seems were caught off guard by the 3.0 release date.
Tough to build a site with 3.0 at this point.
Will do as you suggest and use 2.X for now.
Thnks!

We had a lot of communication with add-on developers prior to 3.0. The developer preview lasted for about 4 months I believe, in which developers could test beta builds of 3.0 and we were available to discuss any issues. If there wasn’t communication, it was either the add-on developer’s choice or they did not know about the developer preview program. If any of the developers you mention are in the camp of not knowing about the developer preview program, please point them to this page: https://docs.expressionengine.com/latest/development/developer_preview_program.html.
Thanks for the info. I can understand that smaller devs would take a while to update addons. Not like they are making a ton of money from them.
Devdemon has been one of the fastest to upgrade but there are a few other of the bigger ones that have not been so responsive.
Anyway, it does look like it’s going to be 2.X for a while longer
Just eager to get into 3.0 😊
Thanks for the feedback!
Just for the record, EE 3.1 isn’t too far off (“very early 2016” whatever that means), and the third-party add-on situation should improve dramatically after that.
