If history is any indicator, they will say it’s not subscription only while simultaneously leaving all the docs and kb articles on their website in a state that makes it sound like it’s subscription only. They don’t really want non-subscription customers, but they don’t want to say that outright. This has been clear for years and is the reason I’ve given up despite thinking their (non-subscription) product is worth the money. It just feels like they are always on the verge of dropping support for it.
