Hi there Egelie,
We are often asked this question. Obviously we hope to continue trading for the next 70 years and also beyond! However, if Anthropics does cease trading we will issue every customer with a standalone version that does not require a server. People also ask us why we would be bothered working on a standalone version if we did stop trading. We actually produce standalone versions as part of our build process, each time we do a new release, so it would be extremely easy to release a standalone version if we did stop trading, and certainly worthwhile for us to protect our reputations as individuals. The reason we don't release a standalone version now, is having part of the process server based, is the only way of guaranteeing protection against piracy. This means we can keep our price down, which we hope is of benefit to our customers.
We have a list of questions relating to the buying process here:

And if you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
Tony
