The only time I ever fell for a "lifetime" software purchase was back when Trillian (the IM client) was popular. That lasted less than 5 years. Then they released "Astas", which was just a UI refresh, but they treated it like it was a whole new company and product. "Lifetime" is always a scam.

What do you mean? It was lifetime - lasted for the lifetime of the product.

Ohhh you thought they meant YOUR lifetime! Ooopsies

It can be your lifetime, if that's shorter.

With physical products it can be the "reasonable lifetime" of that class of product
