 Hello,

any chance to get an admin tools pro version that will protect J25 sites against recent vulnerabilities that are not yet ready for upgrade to J3?

thanks

In short: No. This will never happen.

In more detail: We have stopped supporting Joomla! 2.5 almost two years ago (16 February 2015). The market share of Joomla! 2.5 among our users is way to small to make any business sense porting our software to Joomla! 2.5. Do note that Joomla! 2.5 and 3.x are vastly different. More than half of the protections we offer rely on deep integration with Joomla! internals which are completely different between the two versions. It's not easy backporting features to 2.5. It requires as much R&D as implementing new features for Joomla! 3.x. Considering the tiny market we'd have to charge a few thousand Euros for a fork of Admin Tools for Joomla! 2.5. I don't think anyone is ready to pay 2-3 thousand Euros to protect their Joomla! 2.5 sites since it's cheaper to simply upgrade to Joomla! 3.
