Stardock's software is subscription model. Since May 2023, newly purchased subscription software will stop working if the subscription is not renewed on a yearly basis. This is to cover costs of continually patching due to MS changing Windows 11, and developing new features for the software, as well as operating expenses.

Kindly refer to this explanation:

Hello,
Do know that currently, for Start11v2 it is not under Subscription yet. Your license key should work on all Start11v2.XX current and future release. You will need to purchase an upgrade when Start11v3 release.

Thank you,
