What happens after the year subscription runs out. does it stop working? or is it pretty much like it is now with no updates as version 19 is? I never minded purchasing every year, just wondering if this amounts to the same thing.
Thge 3rd FAQ states about what happens if the subscription is no longer active:
After a subscription ends, you will not be able to continue using the software. You can of course buy the latest version at any time in the form of a perpetual license. However, this means you will not be able to avail of more recently released features or other benefits offered by the subscription model.
