Indeed, you can use any version of LR that supports your camera’s raw files and if you purchase a camera not supported you can always convert to DNG on import. There is no need to upgrade to anything if your current version supports your workflow.
I use LR4 for my client portrait work and the newest version for my personal work.
With the amount of money Adobe is pulling in from the subscription service I can’t imagine they’re going to let go of it ever. For those of us who came to Adobe products by spending $1200-$1500 for a standalone product the subscription version is a godsend.
Plus, there’s nothing on the market does what Lightroom does so far as catalog he is concerned. I’ll happily stick with it for many many years.

The problem is that Adobe is
taking away their programs from the general public. I don't have
a need to subscribe to any program I am not at the level of
activity that would constitute trying to use these now very
expensive programs.
Here is a website of archived programs and downloads.

Lightroom Queen addresses many of your fears. I tend to
agreee with all she says. I’ve been using LR for 10 years and
I’m not giving it up. I’ve been on a cloud subscription for two
years now and it’s great.

With Lightroom going to subscription only, are
any of you switching to an alternative programme?
Do you have any experiences with Affinity photo?
The subscription seems to be even more expensive here
in Europe than in the US and it seems to me that Adobe is
pushing customers generally in the direction of the cloud
solution.
I know they are promising to continue support for the
"classic" version, but then didn't they also promise to
continue selling non-prescription versions?
Apart from the price of the subscription I am feeling
more than slightly uneasy about having no control over the
programme and (in the case of the new "CC") even my own
data.
