All of the online versions on DMM site have time-restricted licenses. Generally, the download option license lasts for one year (not always though) whereas a stream only one may be a couple of months.Even if you download the file, you must watch it online for the license verification using DMM's specific player and of course, can no longer watch it once your license for that particular video expires.

Also the archived videos on DMM and the ones sold on the Blu-Ray/DVD are different edits so they are not the exact same versions.

So if you only intend to watch it for a year and never again, then buying a subscription for the archived version would be less costly. If you want them for longer, you might as well invest in a hard copy (because the files are big and not easy to move around between devices and takes a long time to download).
