|Rosetta Stone (Language Learning Software)

|Rosetta Stone is bricking their legacy CD-based and downloadable software, despite perpetual license, to force owners to buy a subscription plan. They refuse to honor the EULA, which grants the owner right to use the software they own and the license does not have an expiration date. They claim it's because they no longer support the software, but the software does not require support. All that's needed is for them to stop blocking users from activating their fully paid-for software on their computer. Their decision to take down their activation servers shouldn't brick the standalone software.

There are lots of related unresolved complaints on the BBB and Trustpilot. There is also related post on Reddit: <nowiki>https://www.reddit.com/r/languagelearning/comments/1qt3jx8/psa_rosetta_stone_is_bricking_permanent_licenses/</nowiki>, which has garnered 3K upvotes.
