models each of which accumulates a set of statements mentioned below:

month to stay up-to-date with the application updates.
• Annual - this subscription model is a bit cheaper in comparison with the Month-to-Month
one if talking about the payment per month; if you have this model of subscription, your
annual amount is divided into 12 months, and payment is made automatically each month
within the year (if you have the corresponding option set).
• Perpetual - this subscription model is suitable, if you do not need any upgrades for the
application you are buying. This model of using the product does not demand any additional
payments the payment is made only once.

Product Subscriptions page with the products you have bought.
