I like how my music DAW (bitwig) does it. You buy your lifetime license with one year of updates. After the year is up you keep the latest version you have and it keeps working "forever". If you decide you want another year of updates you get a discount. I usually don't need new functions so I let it lapse, I bought the updates once because there was a function I wanted.
