I quote Todd and Margo:
"SoftMaker Office has two types of licensing policies, SoftMaker Office
NX (subscription) and _SoftMaker Office 2021 Professional or Standard
(lifetime licenses_)."
When I read "lifetime licenses" I do NOT read an annual fee for using
the software. Perhaps I'm wrong. I hope Todd and Margo will clarify this
for me and the
other interested parties who have been commenting on this subject. I
would actually rather just _buy_ the Professional version, one time, and
have full
capabilities (and the authorization to use it on two or three machines
at my house, if possible) rather than settle for a watered-down version
like Free Office.
The old policy of offering free answers to simple questions for what was
(I thought) good for the life of the purchased software--i.e., at least
until a new version
was issued, was very attractive to me, and would still be. I am unhappy
with what amounts to a rental agreement, subject to eviction if you
don't cough up a
renewal fee every year.
