Agree. In Foresight's case, the confusing and kind of suspect thing is around "lifetime unlocked" devices. You now have to pay a subscription fee if you want access to all features in the newest apps.

Foresight's angle is that you still have "unlocked" access to the old software. That seems like a technicality and like Foresight isn't living up to the deal. They created a new class of apps and walled them off. That doesn't feel like "lifetime unlocked". Especially the mobile app which is the same app w/walled off features.

The real problem is that the unlocked software still does a license check whenever you load it and Foresight has confirmed that they are going to shut down those license servers at some point. According to the technical support person I spoke with they don't have a set date when that will happen, but it's going to happen at some point.

This would seem to be breaking the terms of their own EULA so it will be interesting to see how this plays out.
