I am personally okay with the added restrictions of v6 as I understand where you're coming from via a financial stake. If the company cannot survive financially then it will simply stop providing updates.

4. Even if we were ever forced to adopt a subscription model in the future, users who purchase the lifetime free-upgrade edition now can rest completely assured that the lifetime free-upgrade edition they purchased will not become invalid. This is our commitment.
My question is do you do the same type of tactic that some other vendors do. As the version keeps going up and new features are added does the lifetime license holder also get those new features of the core product. Understood if you have a secondary product not part of the core product they may or may not be included in the new product add-on.
Sort of like Malwarebytes has done. The core product of Protection, Detection, and Removal remain available to all legitimate Lifetime license holders. Those that paid at version 0.8 on up until today on version 5.x still get the main product. VPN, Identity Protection, etc. are not included as they are new and are add-ons.
I purchased a Lifetime license for UltraEdit text editor and UltraCompare back in 2002 and they have continued to honor the license and even along the way years later when they came up with a Studio version allowed me to migrate my Lifetime license to the Studio version and 24 years later I'm still using the very latest version of their programs. The same with a couple other vendors. But I've also run into many many vendors that the lifetime ONLY APPLIES to the version the program was at when you bought it. No FUTURE version updates were covered.
What is the official statement from Hasleo about future version update eligibility
Also, with licensing. I've had a couple of programs where the company knew they were going out of business so they provided a fix for current users to continue to run the program they bought even though they were going to take down the license server. IF that were to happen to Hasleo what are your thoughts on something like that. Hopefully your company never gets to that point and you continue for many years like UltraEdit.
Thank you for your feedback
