"IMHO: There should be a [own it now] price because things happen. People die, go out of business, etc. Mr. Z, E.O.L., nps micro, Pick Patterns, EZ Winners, need I say more . . .
Should there be a perk for those who paid and waited for years? Yes!

People do go out of business, for whatever reason and their site quits working or is taken down.
Those who lease a program a month at a time, won't be affected by that too much, but if you buy or bought the permanent use of the software and one day you find that you can't use it no more, because when the program opens it wants to connect to a site and the site is there no more, or is there, but no longer "talks" to the program, then you will be affected as your use of the program is not permanent, you can use it only for as long as the person who sold it to you is still in business selling that program.
People get tired and move on to other things, others just die, maybe business dies out and it is no longer profitable to keep supporting the old users.
Does anybody remember "Thomsol" of "Thomsol Solutions" and his program Simulotto or Simuloto whatever it was, when he went out of business due to lack of sales, we can say that his program died as it depended on his site for updates, MM and PB have changed their number matrix since then and the program didn't allow a person to make new games, the TxLotto have also changed, that pretty much makes that kind of program useless, I saw that right away after I bought it and asked for my money back and got it, in my mind I predicted that Thomsol was not going to be in business for too long, at that time he was no longer giving people a free trial of the software, so I could only check it out after I bought it, not a bad system at all, but Thomsol severely limited its commercial potential and doomed it to fail.

So, if we get the program (The previous users), we will of course use it while we can and for as long as we can, but it won't be permanent use, that is if it is good for our lottery games, otherwise we can quit using it a lot sooner, I used the earlier LottoSync versions no more than 3 or 4 times at the most, they were of no use to me, but I didn't ask for no money back, I thought that there was a chance that sooner or later Marco would come out with a LottoSync that I could use, I also predicted that right, but it has taken a lot longer than I thought that it would take and I still right now don't have no serial key for the new program, so I might be speaking too soon.
