>>Yes, I agree that "subscription" is correct term. I am just not sure if it can apply to my application since it is not web-based. If it were web-based it would be easier. I am still thinking if this is correct and legal approach.

I meant that if the app was web-based on my server turning the subscription on or off would be easier. And I think it is more common to do it that way. For example,
www.ariba.com do it that way with their application. They sell license and then charge for subscription. If a customer does not pay, the application cannot be used.
