Orion license only valid for one year?

[Meulen, Rob van der]

We recently heard a rumour that the specified price/cpu of $1500 for Orion
is actually the price per year (even if you don't want updates and support).
This is clearly not specified on the website thus we are somewhat confused
about it right now.
For some of our potential customers having to pays this licence fee every
year would be prohibitive.
Can anyone with an offical licence for Orion could clear this matter for us
(asap)?
