Description

WinGet CLI

Relevant command(s)

winget upgrade

Brief description of your issue

In my case topaz labs photo AI, (but all tools from this company) cannot be upgraded except you pay for upgrade licenses. If this is not the case the software stops working even though it worked perfectly fine before. Please exclude these softwares from any automatic upgrade processes as it interrupts environments.

Steps to reproduce

Have an outdated version of Topaz Labs Photo AI, perform winget upgrade

Expected behavior

It should not be upgraded.

Actual behavior

It is upgraded to the latest version and the software stops working.

Research direction

Start with the WinGet CLI implementation of the winget upgrade and winget upgrade --all commands, using the reported Topaz Labs Photo AI upgrade as the reproduction case. Determine how upgrade eligibility and exclusions are represented, then verify that the affected software is skipped by automatic upgrades without changing normal targeted upgrade behavior.
