    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.
