&gt; Tuesday’s chaos arose after China Railway Shenyang failed to deactivate Flash in time, leading to a complete shutdown of its railroads in Dalian, Liaoning province. Staffers were reportedly unable to view train operation diagrams, formulate train sequencing schedules and arrange shunting plans.<p>&gt; <i>Authorities fixed the issue by installing a pirated version of Flash at 4:30 a.m. the following day.</i>

Previously when we install an operating system, and a software on a computer, it will just work forever. NASA has explorers running after many years, and software industry we have to keep upgrading and fix issues, and write new code to do exactly the same thing as before. With subscriptions, I guess you probably need to upgrade hardwares as well as softwares because the new code will automatically kill your old hardwares.
