Yes. I want my old version of an app that will never stop working when someone decides it should. Im ok with paying to upgrade, Im not ok with apps that needlessly need an internet connection and that stop working when someone shuts down their license server.

Any app that relies on another service needs maintenance just to keep up with changes in the API that break backwards compatibility.

Ok, so? As I said, Im ok with paying for an upgrade. I am not ok with an app not working offline when the only online functionality of it is license checking. I am not ok with an app not working not because the service it connects to changed their API, but because the developer of the app itself said so.
