@Dave: Please be assured that we will not be offering our product on a subscription basis. You will buy your initial license, and then as major updates become available, you will be completely at liberty to choose whether to purchase those updates or stay on your current version. For Cubase, for example, the cost of updating to e.g. the current 8.0 varies depending on whether you are updating from Cubase 7.5, 7.0, 6.5, or earlier, and I anticipate we will follow a similar model as our application matures.
