Well if I misunderstand their verbiage then I apologize but I believe I have a correct understanding that you can get it now for Free to use till the 24th which at that time you will need to pay for it in order to continue using it.

A few people liked the portal wallpaper I created a few years ago. I'll re-post it in celebration in case some more people want it.

No it really is free for your continued use after the 24th if you get it now.
