Extra features question

[Bjourno]

Hello,

I just moved from WPS office for Android to TextMaker 2021 for Android (for security reasons etc). In,

https://www.softmaker.com/en/blog/bytes ... or-android

It is mentioned that,

"SoftMaker Office NX subscribers receive all extras at no additional cost: They only need to enter their regular product key in the Android app to seamlessly enjoy the full functional range across all platforms"

How about SoftMaker Office 2021 Std license holders?

Cheers!

Neither Google Play nor Apple's appstore enable us to sell upgrades. When we give you one version, we have to give you all future upgrades for free. This does not work for us and is incompatible with our business model of non-subscription software where we receive income also from paid upgrades. It is compatible with the subscription model of SoftMaker Office NX.

That's why we made nearly all features of the mobile versions available free of charge to everyone, with the exception of (mainly) printing and PDF for which you need a subscription, either from the appstore or via SoftMaker Office NX.

That makes perfect sense. It's the same reason that not all the features of SoftMaker Office are available in FreeOffice.
