I totally agree with you, the wording could be more clear.

Reading this: we have enabled a way for you to financially support the continued development of Immich, ensuring the software can move forward and will be maintained, by offering a lifetime license of the software

Was enough for me to order a server license (…). I like the software and being a professional developer I totally understand you might need funds to do the job.

So this is just my €0.02 to keep the flow from caffeine to code flowing…

It is a donation. You will get a license key and when applied to your instance, it will report you are a supporter in the web interface.

For me it was a means to show some support.

Thanks for all the hard work, delivering a great piece of software!

Immich server key purchased a few weeks ago, was the least I could do.

Using the go application to import the Google takeout zip file is a really good way to improve the WAF.

Thanks!
