It is more about money than actual policy. We are a small town with a performing arts venue. The money flowing through the infrastructure departments is much bigger than ours.

If I do a 1-year subscription and then do not renew the next year it appears I can "Park the subscription". I lose the benefits of Service Select, but the software will continue to function at its last version. If I want to upgrade I will have to buy a new subscription. "4. Parking a License on your Contract If you no longer wish to upgrade a license every year you can park your license, which freezes it at its current version. You won’t have to pay for that license on your renewal each year; however, parked licenses and their assigned users are not entitled to the benefits of Vectorworks Service Select. Once parked, you will not be able to unpark a license or access the Service Select benefits (including access to the latest version) on a parked license in the future." Am I reading this right? Edit.... I see now that I am not reading this right. Looks like used is my only option.

I'm exploring two avenues. Either this path or buying new then parking the license. Totally misunderstood apparently.

If I buy 2023 with Service Select, then do not renew, will I still be able to use the software?

I am trying to source five seats for my Theatre. Because we are a city-owned building, the subscription service is a hard no.
