Arria V GX Starter Kit - Quartus II DKE? One year license?

From the userguide of the kit:

"Purchasing this kit entitles you to a one-year license for the Development Kit Edition

(DKE) of the Quartus II software.

After the year, your DKE license will no longer be valid and you will not be permitted

to use this version of the Quartus II software. To continue using the Quartus II

software, you should download the free Quartus II Web edition or purchase a

subscription to Quartus II software"

The web edition doesn't support Arria V :( ...

Is this "RULE" of perpetual and non-perpetual license new or old? I never heard of it ... only know about the maintenance expiration, once expired, no more upgrading and new devices support ...

I wonder why they do such thing, why not device lock like X?

(Sorry to put lots of complaint :D)

But guys, do look out for license when buying development kits.
