Check whether you have a subscription or a Mac-only licence

- What happens after you cancel
- Sketch is one of the few tools here where lapsing is not the same as losing. A MAC-ONLY LICENCE keeps working after it expires: you carry on using the version that was current when it lapsed, offline, indefinitely — you simply stop receiving updates and the web and collaboration features. A full SUBSCRIPTION is the ordinary kind and stops. Find out which you have before cancelling, because it decides whether you keep a working copy of the app or not. Your documents are yours either way — .sketch files live on your Mac and open in whatever version you are entitled to run. Documents kept in Sketch's workspace are the ones to download before the subscription ends. Access runs to the end of the period paid for.
