Software updates shouldn't leave the user with nothing unless they pay. Also, on Linux, there is no indication that the prior license would be invalid, or that the upgrade required further payment. And the prior license had no expiration date, and the new one expires in 3 years. |

I didn't leave it unregistered for long enough to confirm this, but: ST has historically been fully functional even when unregistered -- the only difference between a registered and unregistered copy is/was the nag dialogue they display every 10 saves. I don't think it's accurate to say that this update "leaves the user with nothing" -- the update was fully functional (and reversible!) right out of the box.

Same on macOS. I agree that this should have been made much more explicit.
