Corporate greed and treating old paying customers with contempt
They are currently experiencing many critical bugs found in old versions of their libraries (CVE-2026-13181, CVE-2026-13182, CVE-2026-13183, CVE-2026-13184, CVE-2026-13185, CVE-2026-13186, CVE-2026-13190 etc) and refuse to provide free or inexpensive updates to users of the libraries that have stopped paying their annual fees (as we have moved on to other solutions). After negotiation and complaint they want $849 to get access to their urgent hotfixes for 1 year. Given the complexity of their tools and the way AI can now be used to find exploits, I can see this being a permanent outgoing. In 2020 they responded to a exploit in their code (CVE-2019-18935) by offering everyone a "complimentary" upgrade. What changed? Corporate greed and treating old paying customers with contempt, leaving older systems vulnerable to exploit. Shameful. Literally benefiting $$$ from old bugs.
