And if they don't renew their plan they don't lose anything they already have - they just don't get any of the new features that come out after their plan expires. If for some reason I didn't release any updates for 12 months (it has never happened) I would extend the update plans for another 12 months for free. To me that seems a fair way to do things.
Steve, thank you for your opinion and approach: low renewal, frequent updates, extension if a delay. Why Magix/Xara cannot adopt such a simple model, we will never know. 31 May will be Xara's CEO ascendancy with no Desktop application updates to herald his reign. Expect a cornucopia of riches beyond your dreams...
