What's the survival history been for companies who sell "lifetime" anythings? It seems like it is often an act of desperation by a company in need of short term cash flow. In the "pre-need" cemetery business it has long been necessary to legislate strict escrow rules to be sure that details like "perpetual care" are funded. Forever is a long time.

Bob, I think they did this back in 2013 as well. One of the MS guys sent me the heads-up on Facebook to look for this deal after I got the Aspens installed. He got his back then and thought it was a good money saver.  I might be the only sucker out of the first 100, but I jumped in the deep end on it. Hopefully the boat will keep floating. I've rolled the dice on worse odds

Good point. Look at Control Vision programs and updates. I bought a lifetime subscription years ago and they just quit upgrading their product to keep up with the competing technology. I never use it anymore. 

Plus these offers ought to be linked to the age of the customers. My old age group shoud get a discount.

That's one take.  But think about this- how do you disrupt the behemoths that hold a near monopoly?  Undercut their price structure, listen to your customers, and provide what the others won't.  100 lifetime subscriptions a year won't sink the company- but it will buy 100 diehard customers... and those customers have friends.  And I'm pretty sure we're all sick of Jeppesen's price gouging..... here's to hoping Seattle Avionics continues to innovate.. and maybe cooks up some NavData for IFDs/GTN's.
