12 month update policy

[ddouglass]

You did not purchase the software. You purchase a license to use the software. Ownership is retained by MTU as it is with all software. Nothing says you have to upgrade at any time. You can continue using whatever version you have installed. You are warned to save a download of the software and keep it in a safe place in case your computer crashes. It is not MTU's responsibility to keep older previous versions available for download.
As far as the upgrade 12 month period how do you figure you have to agree to it. MTU has the right as owner of the software to charge for any additional upgrades that they make to the software and do not have to support older version. They don't need our agreement to do this either.
Just for FYI the change to 12 months changed over a year ago.
