As a consumer, I like free.

But something useful, I could go with fixed fee with an optional small on-demand fee for patches so I can get to choose (the old car business model).

Not a fan of leasing all the time and left with no license after payment stops (new car model).

In short, new car business model sucks.

One now needs to take an exam to get these licenses.

I’m not too familiar with VMware’s entire product offering, so the answer might be obvious, but why would a company add hoops for their customers to jump through like this? Is this a new money angle for Broadcom since the acquisition?
