Interesting dilemma - Should developers sell Subscription-based software or expensive Lifetime licenses?

[QUOTE="509322, post: 762593"] Lifetime licenses - meaning a license that permits the install, activation of current and all future software versions to include all updates and ongoing support - are not economically viable unless the publisher is making a ton of money somewhere else. It is one of the reasons that Microsoft has chosen to make Education\Enterprise subscription. And what happens in Enterprise\Education eventually happens in Home... so expect a subscription fee for Windows Home at some point in the future. [/QUOTE]
