Licencing and subscriptions are generally the same thing.

When you get a subscription, you're paying a regular payment to have a licence to use the product. Stop paying? Licence revoked.

In a normal setup, you pay once for a licence.

The terms of the licence dictate how you can use the software, and what happens when you break those rules.
