They already are almost 100% cloud, just like Adobe. They made it so insanely expensive to renew regular licenses that had to go cloud. And holy fuck if you're grandfathering goes out for whatever reason your costs 4x.
yeah, I am not up for that shit. They will make a shit load of money for a few years but eventually they will die off since other alt's will mature enough and built transition/conversion tools.
This is how you kill your business for short sighted gains.
Place I'm at has a couple of licenses we own up to 2020. They've been pulling every hook they can to get us to make those into SaaS licenses. Same with OrCAD and a couple of other programs we use. Like Mister Read My Lips said, not gonna do it.
