Thank you for the correction - I misread the heading.

No. PD365 is the subscription version, PD20 is the lifetime license version, just like PD18.

The Essenstials version is free and has many significant limitations. It's a major step down from any licensed version.

Hi,
Not sure if there's ever been a direct comparison published. Perhaps these links might be of some help?

Thanks! Ouch, looks like its all gone subscription.

Is there a Comparison of PD 18 Ultimate to new PD Essentials update? It seems like Essentials is an reduced version so that "upgrading" would really be "downgrading"? Opinions appreciated.
