I agree on the support.  But if ACOS gets upgraded to a level beyond what
MACOS gives you, you are not entitled to a copy.

Only if Lance knows you run MACOS.  Otherwise you may still be able to
upgrade.  Newest version I am aware of is v2.11.

Wait a minute, MACOS and METAL are not L&L Productions products.  Only
ACOS is.  MACOS is discontinued for legal reasons, and METAL is the recent
legal product by the person who created MACOS.
