I paid for a lifetime license, who knew that a lifetime was less than 10 years? My lifetime license was revoked and I have to buy the latest version I want to continue using. No thank you.

One thing I understood a while ago is that any service claiming a lifetime license is it's either the lifetime of the product or the company, not the customer.

I tend to avoid it unless I'm fairly certain the product / company will last for longer than it would cost me per year of a subscription (to make sure my "investment" is worth it), and that I'll use it extensively.

Nothing is truely forever, and moreso in the world of software.

I think Linus from Linus Tech Tips had the same issue. It's worth watching this on YT
