Default Perpetual users with support get full access to Inner Circle

With each passing day, the messages get ever more mixed.

Perpetual customers with a support package used to get only a small subset of all this, seen widely as an inducement to switch to subscription. Then they stopped selling new perpetual licenses, widely seen as the end of the road for perpetual. Then they discounted reinstatement plans to get up to date with perpetual, and stopped the license exchange where you could switch to subscription, widely seen as… well, just confusing. Now they LOVE perpetual customers so much they are showering them with gifts.

FWIW… I suspect they’ve realised that a large proportion of perpetual license holders will never switch, so they’ve decided to put all the effort into keeping them up to date with the support package, which is more or less a subscription anyway.
