I contact sales support wondering why my subscription ended 11 months earlier than it should have and their explanation is this: I go back and check to see when I purchased my subscription, only to find that my "one year license" was issued and ended Dec 21, 2014. Recently I decided to renew my subscription again so I could get the latest updates, as I'm going to start doing more work with Laravel. Whatever, just dismiss the window and ignore it. App ran fine, but soon I was getting bugged again about upgrades. Bought the upgrade/renewal subscription on Nov 26, 2014.
