| Perhaps they'll do it like Microsoft Office | Aug 25, 2023 |
Perhaps they'll change their model to mimic what Microsoft does with Office.
You can either buy, say, Office 2021 and pay once, or Office 365 and pay yearly. When Office 2024 comes, you'll most likely be enticed by the new features and be tempted to pay for a new perpetual license. At that point, you might realise that you would have paid almost the same amount of money with a 365 subscription during the course of three years, with the added benefit of continuous updates.

The subscription model looks like Microsoft's model, but memoQ hasn't said anything about ending the perpetual licence + annual SMA (not offered by MS) model, so the subscription option looks like a (not very interesting) alternative, not a replacement.

They will probably introduce some AI technology, I guess.

I have not renewed my license for 6 years, now if I 'd resuscribe they are asking me 864 euros (6x144) before I can use there latest version. Not totally sure about this model... I could just start from zero at 720 euro.... 🤷♂️

In my case, they wanted 1.200EUR, when you can buy a new version for half the price. Still, I think they are shooting themselves in the foot by asking such an exorbitant price. But I guess agencies are their target now. The model these days is for agencies to give you a license and work online - which sucks, since you can't use your resources.

I'm afraid you cannot buy this software, you have to pay for a user licence. Big difference!
