A search for "subscription" came up empty on both pages.

Section 5-d of the Terms is about RevOnline; I can't figure out how the 
description of that optional free service could be construed to mean 
that the Rev product itself will somehow no longer let you continue 
developing software at the end of any sort of "subscription" period.

The Studio Purchase Page cited states it has nothing to do with upgrades 
at all, that they are to be purchased separately.

I may be sleep-deprived but I'm just not seeing a "subscription" model 
here.  Looks like one can buy a license to use a given version 
indefinitely, and can optionally choose to buy upgrades as they like. 
This is how much of the industry works.
