UBot Studio – Web, Browser, Marketing Automation Software and Tools Blog

Late last year, we divided UBot Studio into 3 versions, representing 3 levels of expertise, simplicity, and general purpose. For those who enjoy a simpler, less cluttered command set, we released UBot Studio Standard. For those who need a little more power, we released Pro. Some people, in addition to needing more power, wanted special tools for selling the bots they  created, and for them we made the Dev license.

What became clear after a short amount of time is that the Dev license had greater implications than we first realized and that it was easy for people to take advantage of its power. It’s an unfortunate fact of this industry that a few unsavory souls can ruin things for the trustworthy majority.

We were content to permanently discontinue the Dev license, but to our surprise, a lot of people came forward with compelling cases of need for it. Clearly this was an issue that needed resolving. So after a few weeks of talking, we finally came up with a solution.

We will be selling the Dev license again, but if you’re interested in buying it, you’ll first have to prove your integrity and knowledge of UBot Studio to us and to our current Dev community. To do this, you will need to be a Standard or Pro license holder for at least 30 days, and you will need to submit one bot to the bot store for sale. Said bot must pass our approval process. You will receive continued royalties on sales of any and all bots you submit to the store.

Additionally, we’re going to be start a Certified Developer Program. Benefits to being a member include a special forum status, including a badge designating your status, and also a mention on a page where we will list Certified Developers. This designation may hold a lot of sway with people trying to decide on who to choose to hire for a project, and may help with the sale of UBot created software. Requirements will be the upload of a bot to the bot store, or update of an existing bot, every 2 months, and continued good standing on our forum.

If you’re interested in purchasing the Dev license or becoming a Certified Developer, please put in a request with support and we will give you more information.

Anyone who’s been with us from the beginning understands that the current version of UBot Studio (3.5119) is totally different from the original UBot Studio 3.0. Since our first release, we’ve made several redesigns to the interface, making it increasingly easy to create bots, we’ve added countless commands, and we’ve integrated a lot of ideas from our community. Well, sometimes changes have to take place that are just so massively large, that we have no choice but to release it as a new version, with a new installer, and a new core system.

I wish I could list out all of the great new technologies going into UBot Studio 4, but at this point these have to remain top secret. What I can say is that any limitation v3 might have had will be gone in v4. The technology is so much lighter, faster, and more powerful, you’ll find yourself mastering the internet in ways you never thought possible.

We pride ourselves on UBot Studio’s usability and ease of learning, but I can tell you in no uncertain terms that UBot Studio 4 will bring botmaking to ridiculous levels of ease and quickness. The sorts of things that UBot Studio 4 will be able to do will make even complex bots into simple, easy to produce works, with a lot of the actual work already done for you.

I know a lot of people will want to know whether or not they’ll have to pay to update. What it says on our sales page is that you get a year of free updates and then you’ll be asked to pay $5/mo for updates and support. We’ve yet to enforce the $5 subscription, but we will probably need to start getting serious with that as the technology and labor behind UBot get more and more serious. If we do that, however, that is all we plan on asking for, as the program itself, while needing a fresh new install and everything, will just be considered an update.

Well, that’s all I can say for now. Stay tuned and we’ll fill you in more and more as we get closer to the release date.
