No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

    I was searching for a plugin that does this. I found a couple, but they had very limited functionality Inactive Logout Pro is extraordinary. It has some very unique features that I could not find in any other plugin Browser Close Logout: Nobody remembers to actively log out before closing the browser. Hence, browser close log out is one of the most impressive features in the plugin. There is no other plugin that provides this Maximum number of logins per user: Number of users that can access the same user at the same time. This is awesome if you sell subscriptions with varied plans like Netflix Redirect Logged out users using AJAX: If you are selling courses, just logging the user out in the backend is not useful at all, because the user can just keep watching a course video despite being logged out. This is where AJAX requests come in. The user is actively redirected to another page (even when the user has not refreshed the page) In a nutshell, the best concurrent user security plugin out there. Go for the paid version, you won’t regret it

    Very useful… easy to setup. Can’t be better. Add more options with the pro one if you need it. Or donate here… as i’ve made.

    it works very well. However, if I watch a youtube video (with or without full screen) my session expires. Is it possible to ensure that the session doesn’t expire when I’m playing an audio or video stream?
