What happens to our drawings when we retire, stop paying for VW and cannot access them?
I have been a user since MiniCAD 4. I'm paying a subscription right now and have a permanent licence for something but it's not for the latest version is it? So it won't run on any computer I am now actively using.
At some time, when I stop working and don't want to pay subscriptions for the rest of my life, I'll be in a situation where I can't open any of my life's work unless I keep an old copy of VW on an old computer that somehow continues to run for ever and have to save legacy version files of everything I have drawn.
I firmly believe, that having personally paid VW for the best part of 4 decades, there should be some plan where I have a right to finally own a version of the program which will run on the computer of today.
