	This actually works out okay: If you use NightClub only 3 months per year, then it only costs you $45 per year. Want to use it just over one weekend? That's $15. Next time you subscribe, you get ALL the latest updates. If you use it full time, then the yearly cost is about the same as a yearly upgrade. Another example: for a Lite user who only throws a Christmas and a New Year's party, you only pay $8!

	~~Some time soon~~, kJams will switch to ~~an optional~~ "Subscription Model". ~~I say~~ optional because there will be no requirement for existing users to switch, you will be free to continue using your perpetual license, which will never be revoked. However, ~~there will come a time when~~ new ~~updates~~ will ~~no longer~~ be ~~available to existing perpetual licenses~~, ~~except for~~ critical bug fixes.		Within the next couple of months, kJams will switch to a "Subscription Model". It is optional because there will be no requirement for existing users to switch, you will be free to continue using your perpetual license, which will never be revoked. However, no new development will be done on the older editions, only critical bug fixes. I will continue to make updates for at least 6 months.

	~~Note this~~ is not related to licensing ~~at this time~~. ie: if you subscribe, it won't cause kJams to have a license, and if you unsubscribe, it won't remove your existing perpetual license. ~~If you just purchased kJams, feel free to wait a year before "subscribing" since in effect you just paid for a full year up front~~. ~~Of course, feel free~~ to ~~subscribe anyway~~, to ~~"support the cause" ;-~~) ~~In the future it'll be built in, and WILL manage your license~~.		Currently the Patreon subscription is not related to licensing. ie: if you subscribe to Patreon, it won't cause kJams to have a license, and if you unsubscribe, it won't remove your existing perpetual license.

			The new system WILL manage your license. The new editions will be HomeParty (equivalent to Lite + Burning), and NightClub (equivalent to 2).

	I'm doing this in order to make my income sustainable, so that I can retire from my day job and work on kJams full time.		I'm doing this in order to make my income sustainable, so that I can retire from my day job and work on kJams full time.

	For $5 per month, you get 1 hour for free each month. For $10 per month you get 2 hours for free each month. More time than that will be Paid Tech Support (see below), on a sliding scale~~. For each extra $5 you wish to put in, you get another hour each month~~. Note that unused minutes do NOT roll over to the next month (otherwise for each Pro user who didn't call me for a year, they could demand several DAYS of FULL TIME work from me, and I just can't do that).
