Joe you want to pipe in?

I'm assuming, as Artie is noting, I think, that they are saying you are with 2016 and that's it.. now that we live in the world of subscription/ leasing, where people are getting used to the new wham bam wiz features daily.

And this is fine for me and Rick. We don't care we have 2016 in 6-7 years. As long as it keeps working right? Then other issue of updating, whatever gets updated over the months years, as I've been seeing for 2011. What are those updates? Just little trinkets or security things? Those continue? And if not does it matter?

Thanks Mac, will probably take your advice and buy from the legit retail outlets.. otherwise, it 40% chance bogus...
