This is the way it should be. With caveat price should be competitive in both offers.

I agree, but the fact that they are considering rental options isn't a good sign, I fear...
Only time will tell obviously, but once bitten by the rental bug, it is doubtful, if perpetual licensing will remain an option for long.

Stay safe, sane & healthy!

What's wrong with maintenance? Or just regular update fees?

I truly hate all these companies going 'rental'.
It's more expensive in the long run, and like with Adobe, I've seen the license warning way too often with the CC suite :-\

Just give me a license key, as usual.

There are people that want to use for just a work say 1,2 months and companies that have a project and need to hire temporarily just some seats.
