In June 2022, new owner of ManyCam [[Paltalk]] pushed an update out for customers to upgrade to ManyCam 8.0.0, a version of the software with which the lifetime subscription licenses did not work. <ref name="ManyCam Forum: Activation many cam 8 and many cam lite - 2022-07-05"> [https://web.archive.org/web/20220705084722/https://forum.manycam.com/t/activation-many-cam-8-and-many-cam-lite/6448 "ManyCam Forum: Activation many cam 8 and many cam lite"] manycam.com via The Internet Archive on July 5th, 2022</ref> | In June 2022, new owner of ManyCam [[Paltalk]] pushed an update out for customers to upgrade to ManyCam 8.0.0, a version of the software with which the lifetime subscription licenses did not work. <ref name="ManyCam Forum: Activation many cam 8 and many cam lite - 2022-07-05"> [https://web.archive.org/web/20220705084722/https://forum.manycam.com/t/activation-many-cam-8-and-many-cam-lite/6448 "ManyCam Forum: Activation many cam 8 and many cam lite"] manycam.com via The Internet Archive on July 5th, 2022</ref> | ||
To add to the situation, ManyCam 7 was configured by default to notify users of any new versions available for upgrades under the "lifetime" license. | |||

Many users followed the usual upgrade path to ManyCam 8, and were unable to activate their "lifetime" license as usual. One user posted: <ref name="ManyCam Forum: Activation many cam 8 and many cam lite - 2022-07-05" /><blockquote> | |||

I have many cam premium, I downloaded many cam 8.0.0 it’s not allowing me to activate. Also I downloaded many cam lite this is not also activating. In both instance, I login with my email and password. I will be so glad to have this sorted as soon as possible.</blockquote> | |||
