What to Consider Before Moving from Maintenance to Subscription:
The earlier you switch, the more you will save:
You can secure a lower price by switching earlier.
Your renewal price will remain significantly lower than the cost of renewing a maintenance plan or purchasing a full price subscription.
Perpetual licenses on maintenance will be replaced with subscription licenses:
Your perpetual license rights terminate and are replaced with a term-based subscription rights, at a significant discount.
You have access to software while you remain active on a subscription.
When your subscription ends, you no longer have access to the perpetual software you switched.
Subscriptions with single-user access require internet connectivity:
You need to the internet when you first start the software, and at least once every 30 days thereafter.
Standalone licenses cannot be switched to network licenses and vice-versa:
You will not be able to change the access type (also known as deployment type) when you switch. If your perpetual license is a network license, it will be switched to a subscription with multi-user access. If your perpetual license is a standalone license, it will be switched to a subscription with single-user access.
