It appears there may be some misconceptions here.
Studio One Version 6.2 is a maintenance update. For me, it was free. It took all of five minutes to download and install, and a lot of that time was for the program to re-scan my system for plug-ins.
Studio One may be purchased separately and that's what I did a few years ago. I have not had to pay anything to continue using it. Those who opt for the subscription purchase what PreSonus calls Sphere, and they get everything PreSonus makes. I do not need everything PreSonus makes, and I share your dislike for subscription-based software.
