I paid for a license for Sublime, but then I was forced to upgrade a while ago, and my license no longer works with the new version. Is there a solution to this?

Revolution-era America was a middling society where the difference between the very rich and the very poor was much less than it is today. The richest colonists weren't as rich, but neither were the poorest colonists as poor, as those
