No, you'll get all the bugfix updates without the subscription, but you 
won't get the new features of later interim releases.

For example, you bought 5.8.00, and there are bugs that are fixed.  You'll 
be able to download the 5.8.00.01 bugfix update, but not the 5.8.01 (or 
later) interim releases with new features.  You will continue to be able to 
get 5.8.00.xx bugfixes as long as 5.8 is still being updated.
