It's not really a management tool, it takes care of managing metadata for you and that meta data is constantly being fixed and updated over the year.
Subscription is the model they have decided to go with. I'd do the same.
I've been paying JRivers yearly upgrade fee since I first started using it so I decided to just purchase the lifetime on this one.
