Invalidation of perpetual licenses (18 Oct 2019)
Reckon's business model relied on selling perpetual licenses with two years of technical support. In 2019 they switched to subscription software, invalidating all the perpetual licenses except for the 2018 and 2019 versions.[1] Customers with revoked licenses were effectively held ransom with their software, losing all access and functionality if they hadn’t opted for a subscription-based model.[2]
