Basically when you buy your subscription you also get perpetual access to the current X.Y.Z version + any future bugfixes (Z). So if you stop paying next year you still have access to the version from when your started your subscription.

If I subscribe for 10 years then can't afford it any more I'm rewarded with a 10 year old version of the software? It should be the version that was current when you finished your subscription.

as soon as you pay for 12 consecutive months, you will receive this perpetual fallback license providing you with access to the exact product version for when your 12 consecutive months subscription started.

So at most your software will be 1 year old.

That's not so bad. Thank you for the clarification.
