Which recent app would that be? My understanding is that v4 was originally released in 2014.

Either way: no. Your product supports a platform, you update it to be compatible. If you don't want to support the new version, that's your choice.

CounterPath stopped selling Bria 4 in June this year, since then its been Bria 5 which IS supported on High Sierra. They also have an upgrade program for Bria 4 depending on when you purchased, with free upgrades if you purchased within 60 days of the Bria 5 launch, and 30% off for anything prior.

I did my homework, yes I missed out on the free upgrade, but 30% discount ain't bad and with the frequency that they upgrade their softphone versions I think its way more fair than Parallels or other software where you pay $50 every year with very few updates in between.

Yep, so unless somebody really thinks it should be greater than 60 days, I think this is a pretty fair setup.
