This is just a comment in general frustration, I recently discovered that even though I am on the latest version in my application I am still restricted from using a "local" MCP for Telerik because I have a perpetual license instead of the subscription license. Look, I get it; you want people on a subscription to make more money and likely to ensure they are on the latest version for the MCP. But just because I am not on a "subscription"; does not mean I am not on the latest version. We are still a paying customer, and it is not like you are maintaining a hosted service, it should not be costing you anything in AI Credits.
