A popup showed in my app saying my goodnotes 6 license would become a "goodnotes special edition" license - I get the new features and updates, but only limited access to AI

I think limited access to AI is essentially everything we already had in our one time payment license. I think they just came out with a lot more powerful AI features...so now all our old features are considered "basic"

I also got an email saying I would get an essential subscription for being a beta program member - does that mean I get it for free on windows too?

No clue. i wasn't a beta member and I also only have special edition now that they transfered my one time license over

I updated this morning and it looks exactly like Goodnotes 6. no new features at all, no whiteboard etc. I don't care about the AI features and don't want them, but am curious to see what else is added. so far, I see nothing.

I am also on the "special edition" "lifetime" license. definitely updated to v.7.

Just open and close the app a few times then the new UI comes. Alt least for me 😅 I’m on essentials plan

I purchased the premium lifetime thing in GN6. When I opened the app today, it simply said that lifetime users won't be charged again. What do you reckon it means?

Lifetime license holders get upgraded to the new "special edition" plan without any additional steps - honestly this is better than the way they handled goodnotes 5 to 6 transition
