Surprised there's not more people speaking of this. While they let you use an older version if you still have it, the only real way to keep getting constant updates is to pay monthly. Which is absolutely scummy.
Just wait until your version becomes entirely obsolete, like in 6 years, and then purchase the latest version. A suscription for the latest freatures is entirely unnecesary for most workflows. They rarely make big changes. I love CSP but I truly hate this subscription model. It is just a way to drain users of their money in an ever changing, unstable, expensive world.
Ok here's what I'm not clear about: does the 3.0 perpetual licence give you access to all the update pass updates from 2.0? or do you just get the base additional 3.0 stuff while not having access to any of the 2.0 updates? that part is very unclear.
They are not forcing upgrade. I have the 1st and 2nd version, I just use them on different pcs, they are all working well. I just upgraded because the price was so low.
People who keep comparing Celsys to Adobe have never actually experienced Adobe firsthand outside of piracy, or are just jumping on the bandwagon. The csp subscription model is perfect for professionals, while the hobbyists and students can stick to using the pay one time versions. When I saw that celsys had been losing money prior to launching that model, it made sense. The software is amazing for what you pay for it. $5/mo with no penalty for cancellation vs $20-50/mo with arbitrary stipulations for cancellation cannot be compared.
It’s not a subscription. You always keep whatever csp version you have forever. You do have to pay for versions now however. If you want to upgrade from 2.0 to 3.0, you need to buy it (Not subscribe). The update pass is more like a season pass in a video game.
Not precisely the same. If you want your app to stay updated at all times you do need to pay their update pass, which is a subscription. It's scummy either way.
No suscriptions please. Happy with my 2.0. Don’t go Adobe route…
This. 💯

No. No subscription. I will literally stop using csp completely.
Literally same, I'm currently looking for alternatives to csp for ipad. Love using csp EX, but it costs way too much :(

Create the problem, sell the subscription to the solution...
No sub, thx CSP is slowly becoming Adobe
They have perpetual licenses, too. They are fortunately(!!) far far away from Adobe.

You do get 2.0 updates if you buy 3.0. Problem is, subsequent updates to 3.0 are behind a subscription, just like they did with 2.X
Pirates Assemble!
I love CSP and I have the expensive CSP EX so yeah I can't give anymore money.

It’s an interesting model. I’m glad that nobody was forced to upgrade from their previous version of CSP and that it still works well.
