I see what you are asking. Absolutely! I would never try to "take away" software from a legitimate user. The software license is not time limited: just the upgrades. If you bought it and upgraded it for a year and decided you don't need/want to pay $19.99 for another year of free upgrades, you can continue to use the latest version that you installed indefinitely. You just won't get access to versions beyond the year mark. In fact, the change list (by version) is public, so you could even watch that list and only pay the $19.99 when you need/want a feature on that list. If you let a year lapse and then want a full year of updates, it's still $19.99. I won't try to charge $39.98 because you went a year without updating. $19.99 buys you a year of updates... regardless of when you pay for it.

Thanks for the explanation Mike. I expected that was the case but felt it needed to be explained clearly.
I suspect it may help many users who have an aversion to the idea of term software licenses to decide to go ahead with the upgrade.
The price is very reasonable and should not be an issue. I wish you success with it.
