Just checked my email and found this gem. 😕
I despise subscription software. I always prefer to pay once and use it indefinitely. Shouldn’t hopefully affect me too much but I worry if I ever upgrade my desktop, will I have to become a subscriber? 😡 I do still have the CD from version 5. 🤷🏼♀️
**CoSo is my only exception! 😉
If you have a license, you should be able to simply reinstall and apply the license. I’m assuming it’s not tied to a specific machine but to you. Was it a code you entered that activated the software? Did they send you an email with a key or file? Is there a sign-in to the site where you can view/download the software license/key? I suspect you’ll be fine.
I’d message them now before the cutoff date and say you’re getting a new machine for Christmas and what’s involved in transferring your license over. Usually the license terms are one concurrent license. As long as you aren’t using it on more than one machine, you’re legally fine. But totally ask.
