The only thing I know is that I need to keep a CCP instance (and backup) in a working state that keeps them from having any access to it (updates). My guess is that as time progresses the workaround we found (replace URCframe.exe will stop working).
And that's the real challenge. You are correct that URC did not promise perpetual updates, and they are free to change their policy for purchases going forward. I personally think it is also ok for URC to dead-end updates (CCP and IR database) for those of us who purchased under the original policy. But it is normal for software to have to be re-installed etc for whatever reason). So, at the very least, URC needs to provide a standalone installer (not an update) that can be installed and works without a password and will not update to being locked out.
We should continue to demand at least that to satisfy their commitment to us per their original policy.
