Ashampoo - Dishonest missleading marketing schemes

I purchased Ashampoo Backup Pro 16 on June 9 2022 for $11. 4 months later at the beginning of October 2022 I received an offer to buy Ashampoo backup Pro 17 for $17.

I have purchased software from Ashampoo before and I have noticed the following nasty modus operandi in their marketing: (1) they charge you a renewal after a year as written in the small print dificult to see (2) OR / AND they make a minor change to the software, they increase in 1 the version number and they offer it for sale again to the same purchaser.

I offered to Ashampoo to buy the same Ashampoo Backup Pro 17 for $8 but they refused; I am angry for that. Many software vendors offer free upgrades to newer versions
