Architect access for Freems/Preems

So I know Mission Architect access for non-VIPs can be gained through the Paragon Rewards Program with multiple purchases of 1200 Points, but according to this it sounds like it should also be purchasable with a license, but there doesn't seem to be one on the Market. Am I off my nut or what?

IIRC, you buy it for x amount (I think it's 180) reward merits for a 1 month liscence from the reward merit vendor in the auction houses/black market.

IE the guy you give your reward merits to for IOs, but not the actual wentworth employees.

AFAIK, there has never been an architect license on live. There was one in the paragon market in the i21 beta, but it didn't make it to live for whatever reason.

The account comparison page is somewhat confusing on the matter - free players can purchase it, at which point they would cease to be free players, but once they're not free they can't purchase it, they can only unlock it with paragon rewards? I guess that's sort of technically an accurate description of how it works, but it's an odd way to label it.

The reward merit thing was a leaked oops from the devs and they removed it quite some time ago.

The invention license is a 30 day unlock, and in I21 beta the MA license was also - so it's not a "buy once and forget it" - you have to buy it every 30 days if you want to keep access. Preemies have to buy it every 30 days. VIPs have it as part of the VIP "experience".

was there still an AE license? i thought it got pulled at some point and we only had the IO license and the market license

i think you get full access to AE at tier 4 on rewards as well as a lifetime market license

As per Aggelakis's link:
" This option existed during the Beta Test for Issue 21/City of Heroes Freedom, but was not made available on the Paragon Market upon release."

Is that a permanent license (Like the Alignment System) or a temporary one (Like the Market or IOs)? At that price, I'd hope it was permanent.

Ah, my mistake.

30-day, I think. And yes, I think it is a little high too. But only a little.
