What good is a subscription if they remove support?

That isn't the point. The point is that I paid over 2K for no reason. There are compile speed improvements that would be nice to have. There are bug fixes that may come up that I need but can't use. I don't know how many times I have found a bug only to be told switch to the newer software and it will be different.(maybe not fixed but definitely different!)

There were valid hardware differences on why I couldn't use ST IV or V in my latest designs that are only 1 year old. Now, I'm being penalized for being forced to use the ST III. Heck, when I started the board design, I couldn't even buy the size ST V that I needed even if the IO did work for it.

And don't even bring up the tech support. I know I can count on one hand the times in the last 15 years that tech support actually solved any problem that I had( and still have fingers left over). I usually know more than they do. The only useful help that I have ever gotten has been from the FAEs at Arrow.
