Yes, that's my concern (about access to already released downloads and updates). I expect there's a lot of money out the door for the purchase and transition and that they're going to want to start showing some income. And the inclusion of the HiveWire products in the upcoming update to version 11 is nice. However, it seems dropping access to old versions/updates could buy them some hard feelings if people no longer have access to distribution files and patches for earlier versions of the software.

It's just a hobby for me. I'll be installing the older versions (I have physical media :-) ) mostly to pick up items from the libraries that may have dropped off later versions. Although, I would have liked to update to the latest SR. But for people who try to make a little coin off their rendors it could be more painful next time they have to rebuild a system or switch to a new system. I've noticed not everyone worries about business continuity to the same degree.

It would be nice if the digital downloads for previous releases and updates would be added to our Account even if the old versions don't get any new updates.

I'm still hoping to see an official answer.
