Wow - Now the Neat company wants to improve the customer experience by discontinuing updates to their software and forcing you to subscribe to their cloud service - Isn't that nice of them? So they are now suggesting that you purchase a subscription to their cloud service for around $120 / year. Should you make that mistake, they'll be able to hold your data hostage raising rates for this "service" at their whim. This company appears to be desperate for revenue which makes me question the long term viability of their enterprise. I'm not caving into the extortion plot and I suggest you avoid it as well.
