To me it actually has changed and it does bother me.'

1. If I don't buy a $599 support plan for my PT11HD license by the end of 2015 my license becomes non-upgradeable. That's a big change.
2. There is no announced way to ever get this expired license back on a plan without buying a complete hardware/software system
3. Although they say "flexible licensing" is coming they can't tell me what it is or what it will cost.

Three pretty big things they dumped in my lap (17 years as a PTHD owner) with only the vague timeline of "we will tell you the rest before the end of the year". And now they even release PT12HD and still can't tell me! Truly - I do find this all to be significant changes and quite annoying.
