Title. I don't want to update my installation, why do I need to accept a new agreement to use it? Perpetual License.

I would imagine this is relevant from the EULA, in particular the section I bolded.
10. CHANGES TO THIS USER AGREEMENT
  • We may change this User Agreement if we consider it necessary (for example to reflect changes in the YYG Property or legal developments). If so, we will make the revised version available online and make reasonable efforts to inform you of changes. It will become legally binding on you once we post it online. If you do not agree to the new version, you must stop using the YYG Property completely - in order to make the YYG Property work properly we need to have everyone using this under the same rules instead of different people having different rules.

So, why? Because YYG wants you to, really. It's not about technical reasons, it's business and legal reasons.

The text you quoted is from the new one. Do you have one from the 1st release? Bought it on May 1st 2017. Whatever applies to me can't be beyond that date.

Not sure why I bother, but here's wayback machine for October 28, 2016. If you want to find another one, knock yourself out or consult a lawyer.

In the installation directory, there is probably a License.txt file as well, which presumably corresponds to your currently agreed upon license.

From my understanding it doesn’t matter what he previously agreed to. It‘s this in the quote you provided.


If you do not agree to the new version, you must stop using the YYG Platforms.

In other words, if you don’t agree to the new version of the agreement, they want you to stop using GMS altogether.

Which is fine. As the agreements state they they can change the agreement whenever they wish.

From what I know, Or at least what my laptop has done, You can accept the new EULA but not update GMS
EULA is more tied to your account, like your license and such...and legally gms, but you dont need the EULA for gms to work, it will install it, but you can select different runtimes/versions to run
My laptop is still a few versions behind my main pc and still works and makes games fine

As far as i know and can stand behind plausible deniability, this doesnt break the EULA, I even accepted it so, and technically speaking Not installing and using the beta ide is breaking the "ALWAYS UPDATE" rule and obviously thats not true

TL;DR Not a lawyer also:
I've not had problems Not updating GMS so far
