minus-squareResoluteCatnap@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 年前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.
