[QUOTE="JasonUK, post: 944404, member: 86995"] I prefer lifetime but increasingly these are 'lifetime of major product version' (ie v1 lifetime licence won't cover v2 etc) rather than true 'lifetime of product'. I don't mind that for important software like Macrium which only updates major version every 2-3 years but for others they update so frequently that it becomes pointless and you might as well just wait for the inevitable giveaway version... If I had ongoing subs for all products installed, many only occasionally used, I'd be bankrupt :) If a product was subscription only I'd just choose a free alternative or one that has a reasonable one-off cost.
