New Policy to return to maintenance

For a long time has been solidworks policy to charge a fee of 500 euro for a return to maintenance. Now my Var told me that from the new year the policy will change and to return to maintenance we shall pay  all months unmaintained.

This will completely change the possibility to not be in maintenance for a while.

Does anybody heard about this new policy? If yes, how thid you feel for this change?
