Bernie inadvertently muddied the water there a little bit.
The license thing only applies to the OEM toolkit. This is a little simplistic but think of the OEM toolkit kind of like the music services you can sign up for. For your monthly fee you get access to 2 million songs. You can download anything you want but if you stop paying your fee your songs won't play after a month or so.
Same thing with the toolkit. For your yearly fee you get access to about every piece of Rockwell software there is. Use it as you see fit. But you own nothing. you stop paying, the software doesn't work anymore.
The old ala carte software purchase structure is still in place. The toolkit idea is a relatively new offering.
