It shame for the device to become unusable once the subscription period has expired.

There is supposed to be a basic release that the device will continue to operate, and there should also be an option to reset the factory when needed.

It is inconceivable that a  500 $ device becomes unusable once the SD card is lost or corrupted!

There also should be a low subscription cost for those who have old units to get old basic software, and get it in use.

For mine sd708 the subscription is 450 $ UNBELIEVABLE

Monetary thinking!

Autel is losing customers, I'm one of them.
