It depends on the application used as some show cached as used and some don’t. But it is being more common to not show cached as used.

It is definitely better when they still have a proper versioning system and it is unfortunate that many handle it poorly even outside of subscription programs.

I can see how subscriptions are very helpful to handling expenses on the business side especially for any program that operates in a way that security updates are important. But far too many companies have set the price way to high and hid it with a short time so it looks cheap. If yearly was the default length and was reasonably priced then I would be fine with them but $5 a month for a lot of things that could easily be $5 a year is too much.
