Then when not offer a perpetual fallback license? If you want to ship your product with version 6.1 and don't want to pay more for 6.2, so long as you paid for 6 months of 6.1 you should be able to use it (without support) for as long as you want.

Works for JetBrains.

They only offered that as an olive branch to all the people that disliked the perpetual licensing scheme. I don't hold a lot of hope for more widespread adoption as the beancounters most likely perceive it as leaving money on the table.
