hard time reaching sales

with the difficulty of reaching sales i figured i would ask here. if i get a perpetual license, how long can i continue to use the software after the first year if i choose not to continue the support?

i mean.. can i just "go alone + public support" after the first year? or do i need to continue the support for ... something?

I had been using the form to have a sales rep contact me. I filled it out 5-6 times over the last 2 months to no avail. I even tried calling but went to voicemail.

Eventually, someone DID call me back... from Canada. He then forwarded my info to a regional rep whom contacted me a few days later. She has been amazingly helpful. It takes several hours for replies but that's fine really, it's not months/days.

I feel the question is still worth posting on "answers" in case others have the same question. I've seen pages that say it's a requirement for the first year but other information tends to lean toward the ongoing requirement of support fees.

How have you tried to reach Sales? It would be helpful to know what's not working.
