Clarification...
A *NEW* Threads license goes for $229 US. This license entitles you to use Threads for as long as you please.
That new license includes a year of updates.
After the year runs out, for that new license, you will need to pay whatever the going rate is for renewal, if and ONLY if you want to be able to upgrade the board. You can easily choose not to continue upgrades, or defer buying additional upgrade access until a later date.
Your existing license, the one you own now (the license Rick issued you, not a newly purchased one from Infopop), also does not expire. When its upgrade access runs out, you do NOT need to buy a new license for $229 US. You only need to get upgrade access, which you can get for 75% off the standard price. The standard price is $125, meaning you'd pay $31.25.
*edit* Fixing the prices.
