I was asking for clarification of the wording. |
The text on the website has been updated:
(emphasis added)
Purchase benefits: - A registration key to use the software beyond the evaluation period
- Include 1 year (renewable) of software upgrades and technical support
(When license expires, no further upgrades or support will be available, but the product will continue to operate) - Qualify for reduced rate License Renewal (at least 80% off of product price per year)
New License Policy:
For many years, Fengtao Software, Inc. has sold its products with lifetime support and upgrades at no additional charge. The increasing costs of maintaining and improving product feature sets and keeping up with ever changing protection schemes regrettably mean this is no longer possible. Purchases made after May 8, 2008 will include a ONE YEAR software license with full upgrades and support. Renewals will be available for a modest fee. Purchases that were made before the policy change date will continue to receive upgrades and support benefits that never expire. These changes will allow us to continue selling our products at reasonable prices. The positive feedback from the renewal system will make us work even harder to keep our products the best. Thanks for your understanding and continued support.
NOTE: All our products are sold as "try-before-you-buy" software. You can Try them 30 days for free, so you have enough time to verify the program's functionality. Fengtao Software Inc. doesn't refund your money if you are not satisfied with our products. We urge you to test it out before you buy it and hope you will want to join our thousands of satisfied users!

To me that answers all questions about this very clearly.
