Sage 50 Accounts Essentials License

SUGGESTED

Hi

I purchased Sage 50 Accounts Essentials in 2018 with a Perpetual License.  I have now been told that it will effectively be canceled by Sage in the next 3 months and I am now being forced to 'upgrade' to a subscription based product. According to the Terms and conditons published on Sage's web site this license should be valid for 15 years.

“Licence Period” – the length of time for which you may use the Software from and including the Effective Date and, in the case of perpetual licence periods, we mean 15 calendar years;

I don't need or want any upgrades or support on the product, so how can I continue to use it for the remainder of the 15 years ?

Thanks

Dominick
