That makes no sense. Before you payed for a version of the IDE and a year of updates. Now you pay for a year of use and you get the most updated version of your last subscription day for ever.

Basically the difference to buying every year is that you don’t keep old versions. You still get to keep/own the version of your last paying day. And you get discounts…

Unless there are really bad feature changes, there is really no reason to prefer the old model
