License Chrome

[Fran García]

Hi im sorry, but i dont know how purchase a license for Google Chrome?

Thanks

This is a good question.  All I find is this page:

https://www.downloadhelper.net/convert

But that's for buying a license for VDH on Firefox.  Where is the link for Chrome?  Where is the link for Edge?  Shouldn't those links all be on the same page.  No.  Wait.  Let me rephrase that.  Those links NEED TO BE on that page.  That's the page you get when you click the "Premium" link at the top of any page on the VDH web site.  All 3 links need to be on that page.  You need to update the web site.  I suspect you can buy licenses for the other versions of VDH on the Chrome Store & the Microsoft Store.  I'm guessing.  I don't have either of those other browsers & I'm not about to go check.  Even so, if that's the case, you need to put the relevant links & a rudimentary explanation of these things on that same page.  No matter the case, you need to update the web site.

In addition, you need to change the terminology.  "Conversion license" is obsolete terminology.  That hearkens back to the old days.  It's been at least a couple of years now since this way of speaking has been obsolete.  Update the web site.  Change the URL of this page.  Stop mentioning "conversion license."  It has confused users & there have been posts on here from those confused users.  Fix the web site.  Change the URL of the page.  Point to the renamed page from the "Premium" link at the top of every page.  Have the page include links for buying licenses on all 3 browsers.  This sort of stuff is just as important as modifying the software.  Direct your attention to fixing the web site.  While you're at it, the tutorial is also out of date.  You know where I've provided a newer one.  Refer to that.  For anybody who doesn't know where that tutorial is, there's a link to it over here:

The premium page is the same for Chrome and Edge, it automatically detects the browser is use. You can test this by changing the user agent.

Thanks for asking that, Max. I am addressing my comments to Michel & Jérôme.

Yes, as mjs says, the purchase is made for the browser that is used.

Now that Google closed their Chrome webstore payment service, VDH licenses, whether they are for Firefox, Chrome or Edge, are exclusively purchased from the https://www.downloadhelper.net/convert page. As you noticed, the web site detects the browser and offers to purchase the corresponding license.

The idea is that when you purchase the license, a new license ID is generated and automatically installed in the current browser. Of course, there are ways to install this license ID manually but it requires following a couple of links in the extension and performing a copy-paste operation which might be a bit complex for non-technical users. In practice, the automatic license install is what's being used in the vast majority of cases.

I am unsure if use-cases of purchasing, say a Chrome license from Firefox, hence preventing the automatic install, are frequent enough to take the risk of misleading the user into purchasing the wrong license type by providing cross-browsers links.

By the way, the browser-detection-bypassing links you are looking for are:

Firefox: https://www.downloadhelper.net/convert?browser=browser

Chrome: https://www.downloadhelper.net/convert?browser=chrome

Edge: https://www.downloadhelper.net/convert?browser=edge

Oops, for Firefox: https://www.downloadhelper.net/convert?browser=firefox
