Pro upgrade and the ending of the software

[Γαῖα]

If i read the shop page right, the base software FaceRig is being ended.
So my question is if i buy facerig and find out in say Feb 2022 that i want to upgrade to pro, will i still be able to acquire it or does it mean i can never use facerig for commercial purposes if i dont buy the pro upgrade now ?

FaceRig will be removed altogether, with all DLCs and upgrades, so that means that you won't be able to switch to Pro once you pass that commercial threshold. I'd recommend switching to Animaze in that scenario; its Pro subscription tier is necessary once the user has passed $500 a month in revenue. However, you are free to choose to which software you switch, so it's up to you in the end.

As a side note, FaceRig's been on a support sunset for a year now, it being a seven year old software. I think it should be purchased for nostalgia value rather than commercial reasons, since legally, we can't sell any other derivate product of FaceRig - such as the Pro license anymore (once FaceRig is removed from Steam's store, that is).
