This is roughly how the collectorz.com desktop apps work. Once your service plan expires, you lose the ability to update and some cloud features, but you can always use the version you currently have (or update to the last version that was available within your service plan). If I open Movie Collector, which I had a paid subscription for but let lapse, and try to update, I get:
Your current version: 18.4 build X
You can update to version: 19.5 build X (Note: your update plan expired on 2019-XX-XX)
If you renew your update plan, you will be able to update to version: 20.6 build X
- GordonS 6y agoI do similar with my B2B security software too (which doesn't have a cloud component). We have an optional software maintenance, which gets you software updates and support for the duration of your subscription. If you don't renew your subscription, you get to keep using the last version that was available at that time. Sometimes if a lapsed customer later buys a lot of new licenses relative to the number they already have, I just reinstate their maintenance for free, because it feels like the right thing to do
