Are you drawing a strong distinction between a new version released more than a year ago, and a new version released seven months ago? That seems to be the key difference in the two scenarios you describe.

If seven months is too short, but one year is fine, when exactly between those two is "just right," and why?

I personally consider 1 year to be the minimum amount of support I should get out of a product I purchase before I either A) have to purchase a new version or B) have to renew a S&M agreement. If you aren't even going to guarantee a product I purchase will be supported for AT LEAST a year why do you deserve my money?

I believe the v4 product is still supported. Nobody is forced to buy v5, v4 continues to operate as promised and as sold.

The OP wants to run v4 on a new operating system that wasn't available when they bought v4. They're upset that isn't supported.

Don't upgrade your os for a year the product was sold to you with compatibility for a particular os version. Doesn't matter if you buy the app 1 day before the os gets a new version or 1 year.
