This is a welcome development. How will it work with plugins? Will the =
legacy versions of AE or Premiere know to look in the new plugin folder =
(if there is one) so we don't have to do the =
"reinstall-everything-boogie" whenever a new version comes out (or an =
old version is reinstalled for compatibility)?

Just curious.

"update" to the newest version. You can choose if/when to download and =
install the newer versions. You can have multiple versions installed on =
your computer at once. Everything is the same as before. The only =
significant thing that is different is that you would be paying a =
subscription fee rather than a one-time license fee, and the activation =
system checks periodically to make sure that the subscription is =
current.

with an old project or for a customer who still hasn't upgraded.
