Hello Irene,

The Deluxe subscription only gives you access to our Joomla! software. If you want to use Akeeba Backup for WordPress you need a separate BACKUPWP subscription.

Please note that the beta versions of Akeeba Backup for WordPress and Akeeba Solo were accessible to all subscribers, irrespective of their subscription level. This only applied to the public beta which lasted a little over two months. After the beta was over, as we had explained from the first day, the access to the stable versions was limited to subscribers of the respective subscription level for each of these two new backup solutions.

Thanks for your speedy response.

After digging around I found this out. Sorry to have bothered you with what may seem a trivial question.

I am very interested in this product and want to subscribe - but one thing holding be back is the version of php required.

I have it installed on a site with PHP verson 5.3.28 - and it seem to work fine, even though you say it requires PHP 5.3.4 or later.

I need to move it and another Wordpress site, for which I'd like to get the plugin - which has PHP 5.3.22

Is PHP 5.3.22 going to be a problem??

PHP 5.3.4 is twenty four versions BEFORE 5.3.28. Versions numbers are not decimals. 5.3.4 is followed by 5.3.5, 5.3.6, ..., 5.3.9, 5.3.10, 5.3.11, ...., 5.3.19, 5.3.20, 5.3.21, ..., 5.3.27, 5.3.28. So I am very right when I say that it requires PHP 5.3.4 or later. As promised, the software works when this condition is met :)

So, no, PHP 5.3.22 would not be an issue because it is eighteen versions newer than PHP 5.3.4.

Hi nicholas,

Thanks for explaining. Funny how I always looked at those series numbers as decimals. Of course what you say makes complete sense! I'll go and buy it now.

You are not the first client to get confused. I wrote an article and put a link in our Compatibility page to help other people understand that version numbers are not decimals and educate them on the right way to read them. I never had a problem understanding that because I am Greek: we use a comma instead of a dot as our decimal point. As a result it never occurred to me that version numbers could be read as decimals until I became an Open Source developer and got in touch with people from all over the planet. Funny thing how our cultural bias can affect the way we perceive something so innocuous as a version number...
