correct me if I'm wrong, but the perpetual licenses under VMware also came with the requirement that you only get patches/updates as long as you pay for a support contract, right?
"perpetual" basically meant that your license doesn't suddenly expire, not that you get free lifetime patches/updates
Agreed. But my account no longer has any mention, visibility, or indication that my perpetual licenses ever existed. No record of purchase. No ability to download. No ability to obtain and check your license.
