Then what's the point of even having an owned license? One doesn't own anything here, if I have to keep updating and being at the mercy of changing underlaying framework?
Can I change the code myself to enable php 7.0, have they provided that liberty? So what I am owning here? Just some random version number on a piece of paper?
Then this is just discounted yearly membership, not owned license.
You realize, I am not looking for additional feature which completely makes sense to have upgraded license.
I am talking about completely changing and dropping support on core framework without prior communication around end of life.
You don't build softwares by abruptly changing core framework and if you do, you still provide support for previous/future framework components and announce an end of life or provide communication around when you will stop supporting.
My expectation here is communicate in advance before you make something obsolete, especially if you are charging clients. If this was free, I cannot expect anything but just thank it's existence.
