What was the fault of users who were promised updates within a certain period of time at the time of purchase? Why are they worse than those that received updates for 10 years? For new users/buyers, You have the right to set the conditions that you consider acceptable to yourself (and it is their personal business to accept them or not), but you will deign to fulfill the obligations for those who purchased the program earlier. What's the problem? For people who pay extra for unscheduled updates, it is clear that they may receive program releases more often than other users. But this does not mean that they will not be able to receive the main updates until the expiration of the period you announced at the time of purchase.
That's the whole point of the discussion. It turns out that the conditions change retroactively. Which should not be retroactive, in essence. And it happens in reality as the developer himself pleases - and decided to spit on the previously given promises. Nonsense... With this approach to business- it will certainly lead to a broken-down trough. I don't want to teach anyone about life and Commerce, but sometimes such rash decisions lead to disastrous consequences. Although, many initiatives initially promised success... Well, it's the boss's business, Dan. You can once again step on the same rake (as they say in Russia), as many people do who have failed their business due to lack of understanding, rather than approach reasonable solutions, popularization and promotion of vArranger2 in all corners of the World. And get decent dividends from it.

So you need to analyze the market situation and look for more flexible conditions to raise the level of sales and attract new customers. I am sure that this will bear fruit in the future, rather than trying to get revenue from a limited number of users. Otherwise, it is a dead-end path of development...IMHO
no I'm not a business partner but lot of features are from my idea or a help for Dan to organise his brain. If I said SD1000 improvements are no utility for me it"s because I think the sound modules are hasbeen, but it's only my opinion (I think so it's the reality) and I don't said you cannot request the features for the SD1000, I just said "be patient, me too I'm be patient for more features since a long time now, the software is more and more complexity and perhaps the first will be the SD10000 features, it"s no problem for me."
