One time purchase, which upgrades for free?

[AndreaG11]

Hi,
I just use one Win10 VM to run MP3tag on my Late 2014 i5.
Previously I used VirtualBox for a while, it was good but it stopped working on Big Sur so I started searching for alternatives.
The first one working on Big Sur was PD16, so I tried it and I found that VB was slow and I literally fall in love with Coherence. After trial period ended I found that license is a bit expensive to run just a VM. I tried "unofficial" DMG and got the Big Sur network issues and I don't feel good with cracked software.
I tried Fusion Free, but I found it is slower than PD and had a problem with sound card on guest OS and graphical issues in Unity mode.

So, there will be a "light" version of PD to run just a few VMs?
What does it mean that 1-time license is "Not eligible for free upgrades"? I can download fixes for PD16 but have to pay for PD17, is it right?

Thanks.

PS: Does somebody have a 50% off coupon for PD16?

Thank you Maria,
KB article was clear and now I know what I should do but, have you ever thought to a "light" version?
A full featured PD but with a limited number of running VMs?

Thanks.
