I am a bit relieved about the situation for current licencse holders, but am dissappointed in the price increase for new users. While I can appreciate that the price may have had to increase anyway, the $125.00 yearly upgrade subscription is very steep, particularly for the non-commercial user. That's alot of money to just go up to the next point release. When you take into account the frequency of major updates, that's alot of money per point upgrade.
