I hope not.
I hope that you can use every version as long as you want, when it is  
released in the time of your licence periode!!

the thing I can't understand, and this is the reason why I don't like  
this new licence models is, that possibly my licence end with an  
buggy version. With RB I had the luck hat my licence ended with  
2007r1. I didn't upgraded until now because the date-problems. I  
waited for 2007r2 but still the same. I am using 2006r4.

Now I have the problem, that I don't have a stable version of  
valentina in my licence window. At the moment everything is fine, but  
when I will make an upgrade in my appliction with a shemaversion  
change. I will get problems. I would expect that I get a stable  
version with no major bug at the end of my licence time.

To pay for 3.X and or new features is absolutely okay, but I think we  
should have a stable final version.

How do I get an information when my licence periode is finished? In  
RB RB tells my that every starting, but how do I get the information  
from valentina?

bye
