I actually did.

You apparently just did not recognize it as an answer.

If VSI goes bust - which there is no indication that it will - and
if there is noone picking up VMS - which seems unlikely if there
are companies willing to pay - and it falls unlucky at the
end of a license period and if the server is critical and if
they did not negotiate and got a forever license from VSI, then
it would be a problem.

But that is a lot of if's.
