[AccessD] Alpha Proficiency Package

Hey John
I have bought into the Alpha line of products, upon a recommendation from
Arthur.  After almost over 20 years of working and developing client
applications with ACCESS I found over the last 3 or 4 years MicroSoft had
totally left their developers behind. I had to make a decision either buy a
weiny wagon and go sale my wares on the  beach or look for another
alternative to continue producing applications that my remaining few current
clients and possible future clients could use on the Web or on their mobile
devices. I have spent the past few months renovating the house but hope to
get up to speed starting in March with Alpha. The product is not cheap. My
understanding is you initially buy the product with a 1 year term license,
that means any new updates (and they continue to push out new stuff every
month) will be sent to you for free after that you have to pay a fee to
continue to receive the updates for the next year.

The link says "1 year term license". What happens after a year?  I might be
tempted to do this but 
not if there is a yearly license fee.

If I may ask, how did you get involved in this and how much has it cost you
so far?
