They can change the terms, but if you don't sign the new terms then you have never accepted the new terms.

For some reason, companies think they can write anything into their terms and think it matters. It doesn't. Most contracts aren't worth the paper it's written on.

"By continuing to use the software, you agree to the new terms..." which is, of course, hogwash, but wouldn't stop them from say "Sorry, the new terms were released and you agreed, so pay up."

Depends on how long your license is for. If you have a 1 year license and they change the terms, you are going to have to sign new terms for the next year's license.
