Honestly confused by what you’re proposing here. I can’t even figure out how this could work. You buy a subscription from a SAAS and then re-sell it (not sure how) for a one time purchase? And how do you make the money? Investments? Since you have money in advance? I’m genuinely confused.
They’re probably thibking of something like: I buy x seats or x installs for $A/month.
I charge a one time fee of $B to people to use in perpetuity, but require that when they’re not actively using it (or build it into my resell layer software) that a seat is released for someone else.
The assumption is that even though people pay the lifetime fee they won’t actually use it for a lifetime. Some might use it for 20 years and some for 5 days.
In that margin you hope to make a profit where SUM($B) > SUM($A).
Most of finance is financial products that look like this in one way or another.

Wonder if it's possible to build a business of reselling subscriptions as one time payments. A sort of reverse loan.
I pay your subscription forever but you have to pay me a lump sum right now.
Welcome to the world of finance! All products are either that, or the reverse. Have fun!
