How much is it going to be?
Will older versions still work?

I don't remember prices as there are several tiers of service. The one I am going to purchase is $199/yr if I recall correctly.

Draftsight states all older non purchased versions will cease to function 12-31-19

Should be an easy fix, just use windows firewall and prevent it from going out to the internet.

I think it will stop working if it can't phone home and reregister. Never tried it, though.
