Hi
Not sure if this is the right place to ask this suggestion, but I'll give it a try anyways. Mods, please feel free to move / delete this thread if you seem fit.
I think the current license system is great, it allows users to either pay up front a large investment and use the software for a long time to come or pay a little bit lesser and pay the recurring fee, however, I was doing some calculations and I found that paid license is only worthwhile if you run the software for more than three years? Here's how I looked at the case:
As you can see, although keeping your software up-to-date with the latest version for owned licenses costs only 30 per year, the up-to-date option comes bundled with the leased license. And it seems that it'll take you whole three years to start to see the savings. I think it may be better if owned license holders start to see the savings quicker, and that way more people would be willing to pay for the owned license up front. Perhaps you guys can look into this and lower the renewal fee for owned license holders?
Cheers,
Andy Huang
PS: I own two owned licenses already, and I am definetly interested in getting more in the future, but this renewal fee is quite annoying for me
