No problem Brooklyn, most software licenses are on an annual basis now days. It's a good way to ensure customers keep coming back, by renewing their licenses or memberships. This is especially important for corporate customers who rarely switch products once they find something that works for them.
Often times, software companies will have an introductory offer for the first XXX customers, giving them a lifetime license. This drives up initial sales and is very good marketing.
If I didn't get my software free from the DoD I'd be buying this for sure.
