Good luck. This is a real pain. But it is only the beginning of the grief.

Next thing you know they will kill ReadyCLOUD.
And the response of No-IP customer support is just brilliant, see below.
So again, NETGEAR, please fix this story.
We completely understand where you are coming from. As a small business, we can't support the large number of Netgear users under the existing arrangement that No-IP had with Netgear. It was simply not possible for us to bear the entire costs of offering the service for free and without an upgrade path at such a large scale. I'm sorry you are frustrated, but to continue offering our services, we had to search for an alternative agreement with Netgear. This is the solution that Netgear decided to pursue.

Interesting reply from No-IP. Thanks for passing it on.
Part of Netgear's relentless pursuit of the "rentware" model. You don't buy hardware, you just get something that lets them sell you Circle, Armor and other fee paying "extras".
