Software has been replaced by another without comment

The quality of the hardware is just as well, as already described by all here. But when downloading (-Try) of mitgekauften software then:
"Clip Studio Paint Pro replaces Manga Studio Debut 4"
Hmm. The functions will be probably the same, just a new name. So far so good. The Pro version can even something more.
The small print on the package (s. Photo) announced but that after two years of a downgrade is due. Or a fee-based license renewal. Yet understandable.
But will that software phoning home every month (contact the local server) in order to stay within the two-year run, is cheeky. I'm curious, what data then all eager to leave, and if I am asked whether I agree with it.
