Unless I am misinterpreting it and provided you are up to date at the time you purchase a support package, when you have the Silver or Gold Support packages you receive version upgrades at no cost so there would not be a debate to upgrade software vs. renew a support package and keep old software involved. That is of course unless you wish to use old software and it is covered by the support package. I think the decision to invest in at least a 2-year support plan is wise, given the frequency in which version upgrades are released. You should consider it as investing in both the support package and the future version upgrade.
Just to add information on the topic, if you have Silver or Gold Support packages you receive free upgrades, including beyond the year mark of the software purchase as each contain this feature: [ source ]
If you buy a perpetual license without support plan (my case), you decide if you upgrade or not with every release, you could upgrade every two releases and still receive a discount for upgrade a recent version.
If you maintain a yearly support contract with your perpetual license you will have access to all of the most recent releases of the software. You can purchase a Silver Support Plan or a Gold Support Plan. With Silver support you will have access to 24 cases per year, with Gold Support you have unlimited cases and the ability to downgrade to older versions if needed. We do offer special pricing for students switching to a perpetual license but you will need to contact us for more information. You can email us at insid...@toonboom.com.

Harmony will now be available in three distinct editions targeted at everyone from students to industry pros: Essentials (simple paperless/cutout style projects aimed at hobbyists and enthusiasts); Advanced (professional-grade solution for studios, freelancers, and others who need full paperless and simple cut-out); and Premium (fully featured paperless and sophisticated cut-out style animation with full character rigs). A feature comparison chart for the different versions is available on the Toon Boom website.
Harmony 12 has a number of significant improvements, especially to its bitmap brush tools (the traditionally vector-based Harmony had lagged in this area compared to TVPaint and Photoshop); support of OpenFX plugins, which significantly expands its capabilities as a compositing tool; and enhanced compatibility with Unity for game developers.
Following the lead of other software manufacturers like Adobe and Autodesk, Toon Boom has also introduced a subscription model. The subscriptions are available at both monthly and annual subscription rates, with the lowest price being $15 per month for the Essentials (with the purchase of an annual plan).
