Hi, The licensing fee is lower than the actual cost of the software. Jaws and other products have software maintenance agreements where you pay an amount for the next 2 versions. A lot of updates are free. Chargeable updates are usually once in 2 years but that varies from program to program.
It s not a matter of keeping on paying for a set of upgrades. You need to take into account the manufacturers policies in that regard and do what you can to minimize the cost. With adaptive technology, I have yet to encounter an upgrade that did not benefit me in some way. Also, look at other screen readers like system access that have a subscription model where you pay something like $30 per month and get all the benefits of the program.
