"The biggest problem with GP is that it's not cloud based and it doesn't lend itself to subscription licensing.

It uses the older model and companies purchase the program and pay a 16-18 sixteen- eighteen percent annual renewal fee but Microsoft wants everybody to pay monthly or annual renewal fees on a subscription basis."
