With the move to a subscription licensing model, will M&S still be available to perpetual license customers, or will those of us with current M&S as at 04 June 2024 (version 24.0.1 release date) be stuck at version 24.xx.xx unless prepared to move to subscription-based licensing?

Hi Kevin,

Perpetual licensing will still be available for customers and there are no plans to make changes to this in the near future.

Thanks!
