If I purchase ArcGIS for Home Use, would I get software updates?  No. If you would like to get a new version of the software you will need to purchase another 12-month term license for that version.

Idea: 
The home use program would be more valuable for me and for Esri if the 12 month subscription included software updates. 

• Benefits to me:  easy access to the current version of the software for learning, improving skills, and performing personal projects during my paid 12-month subscription term
• Benefits to Esri:
  1. 1. I'd be willing to pay more.  Let's say $125/yr instead of $100.
  2. 2. I'd focus more time and attention on the Esri GIS software and less time and attention to become familiar with competing offerings such as the Boundless technology stack when I let my Esri HUP subscription lapse until the next release of ArcGIS software.
