You get the version at the time of your subscription (plus bugfixes). Then after 12 consecutive months of members you get the next version perpetually (plus bugfixes).
So it’s 1.0 when you subscribe, you get that perpetually.
It’s 1.0.1 in your third month, you get that perpetually.
It’s 1.1 in your sixth month. You do not get that perpetually.
It’s 1.0.2 in your seventh month. You get that perpetually.
It’s 1.1.1 in your eighth month. You do not get that perpetually.
It’s 1.2 in your tenth month. You do not get that perpetually.
It’s 1.2 still in your twelfth month. You now get that perpetually.
It’s 1.2.1 in your thirteenth month. You get that perpetually.
It’s 2.0 on your fourteenth month. You do not get that perpetually.
You unsubscibe but retain a perpetual version licence.
If paying on a monthly basis, as soon as you pay for 12 consecutive months, you will receive this perpetual fallback license providing you with access to the exact product version for when your 12 consecutive months subscription started. You will receive perpetual fallback licenses for every version you’ve paid 12 consecutive months for.
So, in your example, you unsubscribe in month 15. This means, you paid 14 months so you get to retain the version from month three (which is 12 full paid months to 14). This means a downgrade to 1.0.x and not to 1.2.x

I’m glad they picked something simple and obvious 😌
Thank you, good explanation. I can see why people get confused since the outcome depends on the subscription length then.

Sorry, yes. I’ll ammend
